The entire experience was incredible - it was both challenging and exciting. The diving was especially incredible - I experienced diving in caverns for the first time, and witnessed 3 different wrecks, one of which was 3,000 years old.
(more)Simply stunning. Quite the most inspiring holiday I have ever been on. I would recommend it to anyone.
(more)The most exciting part was snorkelling into a cave whose entrance was only just on the waterline; the most memorable, difficult to say - the company (our group of 6 really gelled), the places we visited (that you can really only get to in a kayak), the islands and their people themselves......
(more)The highlight was seeing dolphins play in the bow wave of the ship, followed minutes later by a Minke whale passing within metres of us
(more)Its up there with one of the best holidays we have ever had as a family. We met great people, we felt in touch with the locals and the local surrounds... Seeing the place from a boat gives you a freedom we had never experience before. (more)Absolutely fantastic for ALL ages, young and old. Colette is a brilliant cook and the meal she made out of freshly caught Mackerel fish has set a very high bench mark to beat. Michael knows so much and is a very patient teacher. We miss them dearly - thank you for a trip to remember! (more)Great relaxed enjoyable trip. I loved the flexibility of the Skipper too...Enjoyed getting in there and helping as needed - putting on the new mainsail was a memorable experience - thanks Sotiris! (more)The travel to the different ancient sites and the sailing/swimming ports of call was the most exciting part. (more)
Excellent! Every aspect was amazing. My partner and I are both deeply grateful to everyone who works for the operator for making such a special and memorable experience. We will almost certainly be booking up again! (more)Memorable for me for wonderful wildlife we really saw ( so often we have been disappointed, even in Amazon rain forest). We saw dolphins and seals and lots of beautiful sea birds, we fished and laid lobster pots. We caught a lobster, along with crab and star fish, and netted plankton which we examined under microscope. (more)The researchers are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their job. And nothing will ever compare to seeing so many beautiful creatures close up in their natural habitat.

Another highlight was the incredible smell of food each time we returned to our mother boat: of superb quality and variety. And believe me, that kayaking makes you real hungry! (more)Most memorable was jumping off the boat into the beautiful blue sea, the stunning scenery & sights enhanced by our knowledgeable guide and sleeping under the stars. (more)
Great fun - really enjoyed all the activities, the day sail tested the limited sailing skills we had, but enjoyed every minute of it - have never seen my husband panic before... (more)
Fantastic we were well looked after, and very welcome on board the sailing boat. Swimming and sailing also the Greek food and Taverna's recommended by Annie and Satera were fantastic. (more)We felt we had been away for more than two weeks as we transferred to the second centre for the Flotilla week, the most exciting moment of the Flotilla was sailing with dolphins swimming under our bow and then jumping out of the water and talking to us. (more)
The whole being-on-a-boat experience was fantastic. Relatively rough and ready, exhilarating and good old fashioned fun. (more)Skocjan caves was amazing, but we also really enjoyed the experience of kayaking and rafting down the river, the scenery was so beautiful and we had never done that before. (more)Beautiful scenery, great conditions for sailing. We had a wonderful and entertaining guide to local customs and cuisine from Sotiris our skipper. (more)We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
