Traveler reviews
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!
Great trip!
Great day out! Well organised, beautiful scenery and stops. Lunch was lovely and so were the staff. 100% recommend for families and couples.
