“During our recent excursion 2 the sea, my kids & I encountered a disappointing obstacle - a dense layer of unsightly brownish algae and slime, preventing us from enjoying activities like snorkeling, swimming, and cliff jumping. Despite this setback, the guides leading our tour displayed exceptional adaptability & promptly redirected us to alternative, equally captivating spots. Initially, I found kayaking challenging, as the kids & I were navigating a kayak for the 1st time. One of the guides graciously tethered our kayak to his own, ensuring a smooth journey to the caves. As we gained confidence & paddling skills, we eventually tackled the remainder of the tour independently, albeit consist...”

“Hello. Reservation 1663440231. I'm writing to complain about what happened on the booked excursion to the Elafiti Islands on July 1st. I booked the Ribica boat. Upon arriving at the port, I was informed that I had been assigned another boat: Katarina Cruz's Zveta Eufemija. That boat didn't have the necessary elements for the booked trip: 1. It had hard benches with no backrest, only on the periphery. 2. It had no sun protection. 3. The only bathroom became unusable due to lack of water after 2 hours. 4. It didn't have the promised snorkeling equipment. 5. It didn't have life jackets. 6. The supposed bar was a small refrigerator…”
