Poorly organized.
Boring, the trip is too long considering the stop of just half an hour is useful. Too crowded, 200+ passengers. Good and clean boat, kind staff.
S
A feast for the eyes
Punctuality. Pleasant. Nice weather. Just a little too crowded on the beach at the same time. Friendly staff
A
Very boring and joyless experience
The departure and arrival were all in order, but what a bore... The crew seemed like a funeral, the music couldn't be heard, and they didn't even ask if we were okay. They didn't even offer us a glass of water, and the atmosphere was very cold and distant with the passengers. It did NOT feel like the Summer Joy that there should be on a sea excursion at all. I do not recommend it if you are looking for a cheerful and fun tour.

Great day
It is a great option to see some of the most beautiful coves in Menorca, without having to walk much, as happens in other cases if you do not take the boat. 100% recommended because it is too hot to walk and there is not enough time to see so many in such a short time. To find a fault, they removed the awning because it was very windy and the boat was so full that there was no more shade for everyone, so today some of us got a bit of sunstroke. I think it is important to keep in mind, especially in summer with such sunny days...maybe we should think about a rigid awning for example. But the experience was good.
S
Cute
A well-organized and nice trip, but one that doesn't really allow you to see the coves. Just a quick swim in one of them.

Les informamos de que también disponemos de nuestra excursión de día completo, de aproximadamente 7 horas, en la que realizamos dos paradas: unas 2 horas en Son Saura y aproximadamente 1 hora y 30 minutos en Cala Turqueta, para poder disfrutar de ellas con mayor tranquilidad. Esperamos tener la oportunidad de recibirles de nuevo a bordo y ofrecerles una experiencia aún más satisfactoria.

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!
