Relaxation and incredible landscapes,

I want to highlight the professionalism and interest shown by the two Teresas. We missed the boat and they handled all the arrangements for us to join the navigation from Son Saura. We had a magnificent day. The crew was super friendly and professional. If you come to Menorca, do not hesitate to take this excursion,

Relaxing

The 3.5 hour trip is just about right time-wise. Maybe just a little long, but close. Had the weather been a little warmer this would have been perfect. The stop at the beach is nice, but we really couldn't enjoy the water because of the weather. The tour operator offers narration in 3 languages. All in all, a very pleasant half-day.

Operator response

Thank you very much for sharing your experience! We are glad to hear that you found the 3.5-hour tour appropriate and that you enjoyed a pleasant half-day excursion. We are sorry that the weather did not fully cooperate during the beach stop and that this prevented you from enjoying a swim as you had hoped. We are also pleased to know that the explanations in multiple languages were helpful during the activity. We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us continue improving to make every experience as complete as possible. We hope to welcome you again on another occasion!

We spent a morning...

We spent a fantastic morning sailing along the coast. White sand coves and turquoise waters. Very friendly and helpful staff. The bathroom on the beach great. An experience to recommend

Operator response

¡Muchas gracias por su reseña, Blanca! Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutasteis de una mañana fantástica navegando por el litoral y que pudisteis contemplar y disfrutar de esas calas de arena blanca y aguas turquesas. También nos encanta saber que la tripulación estuvo a la altura y que el baño en la playa fue una gran experiencia. Comentarios como el suyo nos motivan a seguir ofreciendo momentos así. Será un placer volver a veros a bordo en otra ocasión. ¡Hasta pronto!

Boat tour

It was a great sightseeing tour! I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication if you struggle with it though!

Operator response

Disappointing

⭐☆☆☆☆ The ferry tour of southern Menorca was very disappointing. Of the 31⁄2 hours it lasts, we spent more than 2 hours sitting with little explanation of what we were seeing. They just stopped in a sloppy, dirty cove, not attractive. For 40 €, I found it an expensive and very low quality Service. I wouldn't recommend it.

Operator response

Apreciada Johana, Lamentamos que la experiencia no haya estado a la altura de sus expectativas. Nos gustaría recordarle que, tal como se indica en la descripción de la excursión, el tour tiene una duración total de 3,5 horas, incluyendo una parada de aproximadamente 1 hora en una cala. Durante la navegación, se ofrecen explicaciones por megafonía sobre los distintos puntos de interés que se pueden observar a lo largo del recorrido. Atentamente, El equipo de Menorca Blava

Fun but improveable

The experience is good, what I do not understand is the stop of one hour in Son Saura (the dirtiest cove I have seen in Menorca) of 1 hour and not in Turqueta cove, much more attractive.

Operator response

Gracias por compartir su opinión, Javier. Lamentamos que la parada en Son Saura no haya estado a la altura de sus expectativas. Aun así, nos alegra saber que disfrutase del resto de la experiencia y esperamos poder verle de nuevo en otra excursión. Atentamente, El equipo de Menorca Blava

Very dirty crew...

Very dirty crew. First morning ride and the crew smelled really bad. Really bad. A horrible smell of sweat. No one helps or gives the hand to get up or down the boat. Don't pay attention to anyone. It was proposed days paragems and only made one. Praia bonita. That's all.

Operator response

Gracias por su comentario, Teresa. Nos gustaría aclarar algunos aspectos para ofrecer una visión más objetiva de lo sucedido: - Nuestra tripulación siempre está disponible para atender y ayudar a los pasajeros, algo que también queda reflejado en las grabaciones de seguridad a bordo. - Aunque usted llegó tarde al embarque, decidimos esperarla para que pudiera disfrutar de la excursión. No obstante, durante el abordaje su actitud no fue la más adecuada hacia el equipo. - Al finalizar la actividad, hizo uso de las duchas del pantalán, que son de uso exclusivo del personal y no están destinadas a los clientes. - Por último, queremos recordar que en la excursión de medio día, tal y como se indica en la descripción, se realiza únicamente una parada de una hora. Por lo tanto, no ha existido incumplimiento alguno por parte de la empresa. En Menorca Blava trabajamos cada día para ofrecer un servicio de calidad, y lamentamos que en esta ocasión la experiencia no haya cumplido con sus expectativas. Atentamente, El equipo de Menorca Blava

Catch tourist. One...

Catch tourist. one stop bathing. Very little explanation during the boat tour. Trop industriel. Swimming where will know very well.

Operator response

Merci pour votre commentaire, Sonia. Nous sommes désolés que l’excursion n’ait pas totalement répondu à vos attentes. Comme il est bien indiqué sur les sites web, l’excursion d’une demi-journée comprend un seul arrêt d’environ 1 heure à Son Saura ou à Cala Turqueta, en fonction des conditions maritimes du jour. De plus, pendant le parcours, des audios explicatifs sont proposés sur les différents points d’intérêt visités depuis le bateau, afin que les passagers puissent mieux connaître la côte et son environnement. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la baignade à Son Saura et nous vous remercions pour vos remarques, qui nous aident à continuer à nous améliorer. Cordialement,

Geat morning

Had a great time boat was clean and staff were great. The beach was beautiful and jumping off the back of the boat was also great. Could’ve done with an extra hour or so but as we did book the half day it was to be expected.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your review, Grant! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the boat, the attention of our staff, and the beach, as well as the fun jump from the back of the boat. For your next visit to Menorca, we recommend trying our full-day tour, where there are two stops to enjoy the surroundings and the sea even more. We look forward to welcoming you on board again soon!

Bof, bof, a catch...

Bof, bof, a tourist catch... I thought it was going to be more for small group, now we're almost on a ferry

Operator response

En Menorca Blava contamos con embarcaciones grandes, cuya información y características están publicadas y visibles en el perfil de Viator. Sentimos que, en esta ocasión, no se revisara con detalle el tipo de excursión reservada. Atentamente, El equipo de Menorca Blava
