They took us to some really great places for swimming. We had plenty of time to enjoy each spot properly, and the lunch they served was pretty decent too.

Really enjoyed the boat trip, we stopped a few times to swim, which was great. There was music playing, and you could buy beer or other drinks if you wanted. Lunch was basic but totally fine. I’d definitely do it again and would recommend it to others.

Great tour overall! The food portions were a little on the small side, but that’s pretty common on these kinds of trips. Apart from that, it was a really enjoyable day.

If you're looking for great views and interesting sights, this trip might not be the one for you. We had to take off our sandals and go barefoot on the boat, even when using the toilet, which I found quite unpleasant. The lunch and drinks were really low quality, and the wine serving was tiny, maybe around 120 ml. It might suit people who just want to swim all day from late morning to late afternoon, but it wasn’t for me.
