“Nice bays for snorkeling, however there are many snorkeling tours of this kind. We chose booking with this company because we wanted to visit Sazan Island for a hike and this tour promised a 1 hour stop on the island. We were diappointed because the boat dropped us off on Sazan at 12:34 and we have been told to be back in the harbour by 1 pm. That gave us 26 minutes on the island which was kind of useless. The tour also promised shadow on the boat (very important in august!), but out of 11 guests only 4 were able to squeeze in that little bit of shadow the…”

“National park is very special. Expect a lot of other boats in each stop. Loud music played thru the whole trip and lack of safety was an issue for us. Tour lasted much longer than necessary.
