Full interactive immersion and relaxation in nature and comfort.
Alternating hiking and snorkeling activities, combined with fresh healthy and fulfilling meals, are expertly coordinated and managed. Julian's passion for sharing his knowlege and love of his native natural environment, the hospitality and dedication of the crew made this a truly wonderful experience.

Amazing experience and valued learning about the islands and its inhabitants
Seeing so many different species and learning so much about the islands; the number of bird species viewed and added to my life list; a professional and caring crew who took care of our every need, the rooms were exceptionally clean every day, little details mattered; expert guide who was extremely knowledgeable about the islands and its inhabitants; seeing so much of the archipelago, (we considered doing 2 weeks however I don't think we needed the extra time and would not have added much to the species diversity); we lucked out with an really interesting fellow participants from diverse backgrounds - hopefully made lifelong friends

It was very good - especially with the guide and with the guy responsible for the meals to serve etc.
The food was also good. 3 nights I think, are to short aboard - I believe 4- 5 nights would be better. The highlights of cause were the scenery.
