We left the castle and walked up to the lighthouse with our guide and a group of 10 others. We were at the back of the group and unfortunately could not hear the information provided about the lighthouse (it was very windy that day). But I mentioned this to our guide near the end of our tour and he gave us the rundown, which was much appreciated. Personally I would not book the cave tour again as it was very quick and not really worth…”

“Fernando was de perfecte gids en kapitein. Hij bespeelt de golven en zee zodanig dat de boot snel genoeg blijft gaan, maar het steeds aangenaam en comfortabel blijft. We hebben er enorm van genoten en echt veel dolfijnen gespot die tot naast de boot kwamen en rond ons bleven zwemmen en springen. Fantastische ervaring voor ons allen”
