Private tour was 5 gold stars
We had the most wonderful time on our private tour. The boat is so comfortable. The food was delicious. Our skipper, Mateo and captain Ivan were friendly. They were knowledgeable, attentive and fun to be with. This was great value for money and I highly recommend.

The excursion was like a 90th-minute goal, beautiful
The crew on board are fantastic, the bookers we spoke to were fantastic
We did several trips, but we liked this one better because there is glass in the boat, so it's nice to see the sea in the boat

Grazie per le gentili parole.

Great excursion with 2 awesome guides. We were 5 adults and 2 children.
Had great spots to snorkel.
Boat reacts somewhat firmly to the swell, otherwise a top excursion and would book it again.

Would recommend again and again.

Super feasible even with small children
Had a wonderful day with a group of friends with many young children. Very safe boat, tour tailored exactly to our wishes and really great food.
The glass floor was equally well received by the kids at the beginning. The parents also got their money's worth and the bright children's eyes were priceless.

Everything you can ask for
Sasa and her boat driver were awesome! Very friendly, interactive, and knowledgeful. The boat accomodates you perfectly, it was just us 3 guys and we had the whole boat. There were unlimited alcoholic drinks, food, and dessert. In addition to the treats, we were on a 4 hour excursion to see cliffs, coves, a lighthouse, and just the overall open sea which was absolutely breathtaking. The boat will park 3-4 times for you to get off, get into the water, and explore. If you're friendly and fun, Sasa might jump into the water with you as well and go exploring! ;)

Istrian experience not to be missed
Sasha and Ivan were fabulous hosts and made our excursion so wonderful. We were a group of 4 adults and 4 teenagers and the trip was amazing! The boat was easy to find, comfortable and in great condition. It was wonderful to see all of the sea life through the boats glass bottom. We had an extensive tour around three islands. Later, we enjoyed snorkelling with equipment provided. Ivan was great at finding us sea creatures to see and touch and the teenagers had fun when Sasha threw some bread for the fish around us it was brilliant!
Thank you so much for everything we really did have a memorable and lovely time with you - what fabulous people you both are x

The Rio Boot tour was OUTSTANDING!
We visited Rio Boot with a group of 8 friends and it was a blast! We were greeted by the Captain, Ivan and his lovely tourguide Saša who from start to finish created an inviting and downright fun atmosphere. The boatride tour took us to several amazing swimming spots where they even provided 5 snorkling sets for those who didn't have any. An outstanding lunch was provided where meats, big shrimp and fish were grilled and served with cold snacks and bread. ALL foods and drinks, with the exception of the water, were local/regional (delicious) products. The trip culminated with a visit to a local cave with beautiful diving cliffs, amazing snorkling and warm swimming.
The tour was so good that we spontaneously booked the evening trip for 2 hours upon return!
The evening tour was equally amazing, but on the other side of the island, with of course just swimming and no snorkling or cliff diving.
Ivan, Saša and the team at Rio Boot, we thank you very much and plan to see you next year in full force!!
Sincerely,
Your most favorite German group ever ;)
