Amazing trip!

Absolutely beautiful boat trip, we really recommend this experince. The boat is real pirate boat. The trip itself was super, several stops for swimming on the open sea, including the Dolphin island (possible to swim to and go to the island with shoes). Unlimited soft drinks and tasty lunch (generous portion) included. All staff were very friendly and attentive. The foam party and dancing was really nice touch and fun, not only for the children. Had the chance to swim also in the river on the way back. Overall great trip.

Pirate Boat Trip

Great day out on the water, well looked after by the captain and crew. Good communication for pick up from the hotel, lunch is basic but enjoyable. Stops in the river on the way back for jet skiing (only €30 for 10 minutes) and has you back at your hotel for 6pm. Full day out and great fun. Thank You.

Perfect.

10 out of 10 points!!! Right at the beginning, you could watch dolphins swimming. Participated as a family. The whole team was very friendly. Everything was top-notch.

Great experience for the whole family

A fantastic outing! We had a lovely day on the boat. The team is super friendly and took great care of us. Even though the dolphins unfortunately did not show up today, it was still an impressive experience for us with the sea turtles. The foam party in the afternoon was an absolute blast for the kids (and for us adults too!). The value for money is excellent, absolutely recommended for families!

Boat trip

Went on Wednesday was a great experience. The team are fantastic and the boat trip was great. We didn’t see any dolphins unfortunately but did see sea turtles. The highlight was by far the foam party was great fun. Food was very tasty and had unlimited soft drinks. Played a mix of music of different languages could have played some more English music but was still very good.

Decent experience

The boat trip was lovely, the children were kept entertained, however it’s advertised as unlimited soft drinks and lunch. The staff bring around canned drinks, crisps and ice cream. Beware that these are not included in the package and are quite pricy, WiFi costs €3. Only the cup drinks given to you at the bar are free and the only two options were Pepsi or Mirinda Orange. We racked up a bill of over €40 and that was just on 3 capri-suns, two cans of soft drinks and 5 ice-creams. The foam party was a nice touch at the end, all the children thoroughly enjoyed it. Lunch was ok, it was grilled chicken, bulgar and salad but that’s the only thing they have to offer.

Rocking boat trip

Pickup worked well. Arriving at the boat we started after a long wait. Ale's first was after about 30 min a stop on a beach. Then there was a not so good cold lunch. Then we went to the Mediterranean. It was so stormy that the tour guide eigtl had to stop the tour. Almost everything went badly as the ship was so swinging. Arrived at the “Dolphin Island” which was rather just a rock in the water we went back without a break because due to the weather it was too dangerous to take a break there. The way back was much worse than the way out when the destination was already within reach the ship docked again to the beach where the first stop was also. Nobody wanted that. Everyone just wanted to go back to the hotel. We don't need another experience like this.

Es tut uns sehr leid, dass Sie eine enttäuschende Erfahrung gemacht haben, und wir danken Ihnen für Ihr Feedback. Es ist uns sehr wichtig. Leider haben wir keinen Einfluss auf die Wetterbedingungen, die sich – insbesondere zu dieser Jahreszeit – schnell ändern können. Die Sicherheit unserer Gäste hat für uns stets oberste Priorität. Sollte ein tatsächliches Risiko bestehen, würde der Kapitän die Tour verkürzen. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen und Ihnen dann ein besseres Erlebnis zu bieten.
