our captain Kenji sorted everything for us and a hidden cove we anchored in to swim was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar boat trip we tried in Dubrovnik, tbh

So nice this one, a hidden cove we anchored in to swim was amazing and Kemal the captain explain everything good. Better than Cape Town for sure, we go again!

Not bad but not great, jumping off the back into clear water we like but got loads of photos only. Maybe can improve, little bit expensive.
