The team were knowledgeable and friendly. Snorkelling on the reef was amazing, Francis took time to show us special sights like octopus in the coral. White sand beach in the middle of the sea. Fantastic meal on Wasini Island. Tour of the caves included a local guide who told us the history - a hard listen but a good thing to know about. We felt really safe and well looked after all day, and saw some amazing sights. Highly recommended!”
