“Such an enjoyable and memorable experience with fantastic guides. Highly recommended. Having never done coasteering before, this was a relative unknown for me, and being not the best with heights, I had some trepidation at times, but the guides were really patient and understanding and encouraged my son and I throughout, which led to a wonderful and memorable experience. Thank you so much, we both loved it.” - Reviewed at 2024-10-29
