“I was very surprised when the skipper asked me for €420 for gas when the tour ended. This was not mentioned in the contract! I withdrew the money from the ATM and gave it to the skipper.

“The price of the trip is higher than other in the market but the experience isn’t as good as we expected. The tour guide is not professional who didnt share enough information about the rundown/ planning of the trip. When we off the blue cave out of boat, the guide didn’t inform us the long waiting time (more than an hour) on the island so we didn’t bring our water, food. There was a time the guide said ‘I m not going to tell the history/ background anymore as I think you guys are not interested’. So, I think that’s a bit rude. During lunch time, the tour guide persuaded…”
