"Great Tour for everyone who is looking for an individual Boat Tour. Carlos always tries to fulfill every wish of the guests. Uncomplicated way. Anytime again. "Michaela, July 25, 2023
"I would recommend this private boat trip because you can go at your pace.
We went to the fishing port. This was an awesome experience.
The best island would be Ihla Deserta where you can have lunch in Estancia (very good food but reserve ahead of time) and also swim.
Do not spend more than 20 mins in Armona and Farol.
Go to Culatra to buy fresh oysters from the fishermen.
A 6 hour private trip is perfect. "Teresa O , October 2, 2025

"Nice trip through the beautiful area with a solar boat and how nice, max. 8 people. The guide - who spoke several languages - told extensively about the bird species that occur there and also handed out binoculars for this. This allowed us to see various species, very nice!
