“When we arrived at the meeting point in the morning I was a little surprised by the number of people, but they split them up on two identical boats such that it really was a small group as advertised. We liked that the boat always had some space with sun and shadow, nevertheless: Bring sunscreen! 😉 Really enjoyed spending the day on the boat with Josip, he is a funny guy! We had ample time at all the stops to go swimming whenever we wanted and for us the highlight was definitely the cave. The other stops were great as well, the ship wreck was way larger than we expected…”
