Boat Trip around Mirabello Bay with Swimming Stops"I can only recommend the boat tour with reservations. The price was good, but unfortunately, the experience was very much a mass-market affair. At both stops, there were other boats, so we were packed tightly together on the beach. The atmosphere was rather hectic and chaotic. The return trip, on the other hand, was very long. We were greeted with a welcome drink – sugary juice and later watermelon. A nice gesture, but unfortunately, everything was served in small, single-use plastic containers. Then you could buy overpriced keychains with a photo taken upon arrival. The staff were mostly quite unfriendly, especially towards children. So, this is really only suitable for people who want to save money and don't have high expectations. For everyone else, I recommend investing a little more money for greater comfort and quality."Bettina · July 2026
