We loved the fact the cat wasn’t too crowded and really enjoyed kayaking and snorkelling in the sea. The lunch was excellent and plenty to go round. I liked the fact the Salty Canarian potatoes were brought by kayak over to the yacht, warm, from a farming settlement! Very well organised trip, and a wonderful activity to do. Happy committed staff and very good mini bus pick ups - awesome trip !”

Only feedback would be to ensure pick up times are correct - we arrived a hour before we needed to - and the trip was only 4 hours, not 4.5 as advertised. Overall a great day. Many thanks.”
