Great tour, Rodi really goes above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable! Always asking if you’re okay, or if you need anything to eat or drink. It includes food and drinks - vegetarian available. Wifi on board! Only thing to consider is that there is only one spot in the shade, but this is true for most speed boats and this one still has comfortable cushioned seats. The first stop is very hot 1 hr on a rock beach, so you have to go in the water otherwise it’s unbearable. Same goes for most of the stops on the blue cave gamma bay tour. But worth it for the blue cave, gorgeous caves and turquoise water. The other 2 men on board were okay, 1 was nice and 1 was a bit cocky but for me the customer service by the lady Rodi, really made it a good experience!

We spontaneously decided at 11:00 AM to book a tour with the local operator (for 11:30 AM). The reception wasn't very friendly, rather annoyed – we were still advised to book online on the spot. We waited until noon when we were picked up as a group and walked to the harbor. The speedboat ride was quite cramped and, as expected, wild, but enjoyable. We weren't given life jackets (though they are generally available) or a safety briefing. Our last stop on the peninsula was set for three hours; two sun loungers with an umbrella on the island cost 1,500 ALL/€15 for the day. There's a beach bar with drinks and (in my opinion) annoyingly loud music, and a restaurant. The restrooms are generally awful. The sea is very pleasant and nice for swimming; since there's some coarse gravel, water shoes are recommended. We returned to the harbor around 5:20 PM.
