    The trip itself is excellent but spoilt by being miss sold by TUI! We were told by the rep and to be fair it states in your own advert that soft drinks are included! This is not true and at the very least misleading to the point of being a scam! Soft drinks are provided with lunch at all other times they are to be purchased when you decide how much cash to bring on the trip you may not take into account this cost! I did bring this up at the time & other tui guests were also unhappy with this

    The advert says full day snorkelling but in reality the guided snorkelling was only 30 minutes. While the experience was good, the majority of the day was spent travelling. Also, the base for the day has rocks / old coral at the edge of the sea, which all of us struggled to walk around or swim past. Considering how lovely the beach at our hotel was, which had coral within 3 minutes of the beach, the high cost of this trip was poor value.

    Mo our guide is an excellent employee and TUI should reward him. His knowledge and sense of humour made the day very special.

    We were well looked after by Mohamed. He explained our itinerary on the way and made sure we knew the important details. We thoroughly enjoyed our day. We felt very safe, the food was very good and we had a bar and toilets close by on the beach. The snorkel equipment was free to hire. We had a really relaxing day. Nothing not to like!

    Sortie snorkeling ratée . Aucune règle élémentaire de sécurité . Trop de gens dans l’eau . Aucune explication sur le respect de la flore marine . Spot de plongée pas terrible . Une catastrophe . Merci de vérifier le type de guide . Il n’était pas compétent . Déçus

    Der Tauchguide hat mich zu 100 % unterstützt, so wurde das Schnorcheln zu einem einmaligen Erlebnis. Auch unser Begleiter Maximus hat sich super um uns gekümmert. Ich würde diesen Ausflug jederzeit wieder machen.
