Selling points regarding safety

Small-group tours: Each participant receives individual attention, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. Experienced instructors accompany you at all times, providing careful support for beginners and those traveling with children. Life jackets are mandatory, and all safety equipment is provided. We guide you along a reasonable schedule, taking into consideration your physical condition and the weather. Entry to the snorkel beach reduces the risk of seasickness, making it safe for those who are not good at swimming. Wetsuits and flotation devices are available for rental. Clear kayaks/SUPs use highly stable transparent boards that are less likely to capsize, making them safe for small children and first-timers. A briefing is given in shallow water before departure, so you can enjoy the experience without worry. The Phantom Island Tour (boat) is operated by a licensed captain and equipped with the latest safety equipment. Weather and sea conditions are always checked before departure, and the tour only operates if safety is assured.
