Our North Ari island hopping tour is designed to allow guests more flexibility and choice, you do what you want to do when you want to do it!
Part of the excitement of travelling is arriving at a new destination and exploring. We are also aware that on some days you may wake up and decide today I fancy doing nothing. With this tour we will do the groundwork for you. We will book all accommodation and breakfast, organise and assist with your public ferry transfers and ensure there is always a guide on hand.
This leaves you the responsibility of deciding what you want to do and when you want to do it. All of which can be organised during your trip or in advance if you prefer a more scheduled itinerary. There are plenty of activities for you to select from including but not limited to discover SCUBA diving, diving, sunset cruises, snorkeling, windsurfing, kite surfing, evening fishing trips, sandbank visits, resort day visits and beach BBQs. We are also happy to tailor-make your tour should you wish to shorten or extend your trip.
