our captain Luca was brilliant and jumping off the back into clear water was the highlight. Did it on our first morning so it wasnt too busy. First thing in the morning, and about 5 hours on the water. Would book again no question.

our captain Wei had so many stories and the little blue cave stop was the highlight, and blew our Marrakech one out of the water, 10/10
