Marco was very nice and showed us all the sites as we went round the coast! Water was crystal clear so we saw lots of fish, recommend taking your own snorkel but they do give you goggles. 2 hours is the perfect amount of time as we were able to have 2 swimming stops and still have plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the day afterwards.”
