Loved the variety of stops and the swimming opportunities. The small group (11 of us) was the perfect size. Communication with the tour guide prior to the trip was good. Would highly recommend this great day out
Booking through Headout was easy and confirmation and digital tickets received almost immediately. The packs a lot into one day. Unforunatel due to weather conditions we were unable to visit the Blue Caves however another small island village was substituted. Also due to the weather conditions, the boat ride was rough...but again, not much the boat driver could do. We enjoyed the tour and the places we visited.
Great experience I highly recommend
Our crew were the absolute best!!
Wonderful boat trip I have ever had in my life. Beautiful locations to swim at. Great value for money Recommendation to this tour agency!
Great experience all the time , unfortunately our initial boat got issue but we were re located with amazing people also Thanks Just to be focus on the meeting points at the beginning The our one was wrong Thanks Jennifer
Great and fun trip! Blue cave was an amazing experience. We only visited 3 islands, not 5. I believe that the package mentions snorkeling but there was no snorkeling involved.
Trip was good with nice tourist guides. Although we could not see blue caves due to bad weather but it is nature and you can predict the same before. One additional island was covered as Blac to compensate the blue caves.
Highly recommend! I went with a friend and we really enjoyed it :) The landscape are beautiful.

Everything was fine. Only the email from Headout stated a starting location, which was not correct. And it was also written that you had to be there by 7.00am. It was not clear to me that the departure point had been changed and that the time for the meeting point had also been changed to 7.15 am. This made the start very hectic for me! Best regards
