"I gave it three stars because I booked the tour without an Italian-speaking guide. As a result, I couldn't get any explanations in my native language, and had to make do with a few words in English and a few in Spanish. Otherwise, everything went according to plan. The guide was also excellent, as was the captain's attention to those with mild mobility issues. Thank you for this experience!"Bruno · September 2025
"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 2025
"We were a group of 9 friends and had a fantastic day. Super friendly owners and a great boat. We were even lucky enough to see several dolphins swimming alongside our boat for a few minutes.
We can only recommend this tour!"Viktor+Lauritz · September 2024

"I was looking for a boat tour that allowed my little dog to come along. We received a warm welcome, the guides were incredibly friendly, even to my dog, and we were able to see a family of dolphins and a shark. The tour was conducted in several languages, but German wasn't one of them. The boat was stable and secure in the water, but since we often went quite fast, it was windy and cold, so it's best to pack jackets :)"Jamina · June 2026
