An amazing excursion. It's a 1.5-2 hour drive from Kamala to the pier, but it's worth it. You'll be met and shown around by a Russian-speaking guide, and you'll be fed constantly. The locations are simply 🔥.

An amazing excursion! Everything was perfectly organized: transfer, boat, delicious lunch. The islands are incredibly beautiful. The underwater world is simply magical. Visibility is perfect, fish are everywhere, like in an aquarium. We also got to swim with a turtle—a truly special experience and a thrill. I definitely recommend it for unforgettable memories and the best photos. It's worth every penny!
