My mum and I had the most wonderful day on this cruise! The crew was great: they were always helpful, showed us the most beautiful places and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. I really recommend this tour if you're staying in Malta.! You get to see some of the country's most famous spots and swim in the Mediterranean. 11/10
Very good food Very good trip Very good atmosphere A few small improvements: -Start the tour earlier to finish a bit earlier. This would also allow for an earlier lunch because 1:15 PM is late to eat. -Provide a small snack in the morning. Also, it would be interesting to make a swimming stop at the blue lagoon instead of Popeye village since we do not have access to it.
The trip was fantastic! The crew were amazing, the food was divine and the beaches we visited were breathtaking. Us adults and kids really enjoyed swimming in crystal blue seas. Would definitely do it again!
Well worth taking this excursion. The boat was in tip top shape and the crew were thorough professionals. The stop offs for swimming were relaxed and not rushed . The meal provided was very tasty. I would highly recommend this trip.
Absolutely brilliant day out on the water, lots to see and lots of relaxing/sunbathing with lovely swim stops. They staff all went over and above. Would highly recommend
We had a wonderful, relaxing day at sea! Lunch was delicious and we loved each swimming stop. The bathrooms on board were clean and easily accessible. The crew was helpful and informative.
Fantastic walk. We visited beautiful places with clear blue water. The board staff very attentive and friendly. Recommended
Large clean boat with lots of crew. Sadly, our trip was less enjoyable because of a group of approx 15 men who dominated the trip, very loud and absolutely no regard for any of the other guests. Maybe the crew could have restricted the sale of alcohol and taken more action to ensure all guests were enjoying the experience as they didn't appear to notice that some of the behaviours were offensive to others. The boat skipper was very skilled navigating the boat in less than ideal sea conditions and kept everyone informed. The lunch was very good and on the whole, we would recommend the trip as a great way to see the island from the sea but the crew need to pay a bit more attention to ensure all guests are enjoying the experience.
In reality, it was a bit boring. Many hours, few stops, not enough space for everyone to sit or lie down comfortably. The number of participants should be further limited. The lunch was decent, the salmon was well-cooked. Honestly, we were a bit disappointed, and speaking with others on board, they were also not fully satisfied with the tour's execution. Moreover, we paid €70 per person, while others paid €60, and this is also strange. In short, if you really have nothing else to do and don't mind being on a boat for 8 hours, go for it; otherwise, skip it.
Overall great experience! The crew was very nice, took care of everyone, the boat was clean and comfy. The route is also excellent, gives plenty of time to enjoy the swim, snorkel and enjoy the unbelievably blue waters. Lunch was good, and plenty. We enjoyed this trip very much. Will be back when in Malta!
