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.
Brilliant. Even the dolphins made a visit.
Was a really good day. Was lucky enough too even see dolphins. Everything overall was really good, accommodating, friendly, even good for families and plenty of swimming stops.
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.
Super great boat tour
Was a very great experience I would do again anytime 😊
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.
