Good boat trip - This was a really nice day out on the boat with several swimming stops to enjoy. The food was really nice and made fresh on the boat. We had the chicken, bulgar wheat and there was a lovely green pepper type bean 🌶️ not spicy. Beautiful flavours. Drinks and snacks were reasonably priced and the price for the photos is what you'd expect from a tourist experience.

Good trip - We enjoyed our trip. Lots of stops for swimming. Reasonably priced drinks and snacks onboard. Photo opportunity with parrot available. Food was very tasty. We had chicken, bulgar wheat and a type of 🫛 bean/pepper. It was all very tasty and cooked fresh on the boat. We did struggle to get a seat at first. We were sharing one seat between two of us. I thought the staff may have seen I didn't have a seat and got one but they didn't. We did find a spare seat in the end so had one each. If you want a quieter more chilled experience sit downstairs. Middle level is party level where the music and drinks are available and then upstairs is for lounging and sunbathing. In the beginning there was someone speaking about the plan for the day in different languages and also English but then as time went on no one was translating into English so we didn't always know what was being said. Over all a good trip 👍 and would do it again.

Schöner Ausflug 😍 - Mehraba, no hersey Good. They're good for us, they're good, the food is good, and the people are good 🙏🏼 The trip was wonderful, Till and his father were very good people, just like the rest of the crew. The food was very delicious. The moustache party was incredibly fun, and I recommend this trip for everyone – a kid's paradise, 5/5 Ace ⭐️. The only disadvantage was that the toilet wrapper didn’t work properly, but no problem, we’re on a boat 😊

Also good for relaxing. - We really liked the boat trip. We were rather comfortable and could relax very well despite foam party. We were on the top deck.

Great fun for a family with kids - A lot of fun for both me and my daughter (5y)! Nice stops for bathing and a fun foam party! Food was actually quite good! The bar was reasonably priced as well! You could take photos with a parrot which was fun but ridiculously priced (even after cutting the price 60%). Unfortunately we did not see any dolphins :( The staff was friendly, engaged and great with the children! Would've been a plus if the staff dressed as pirates but no big deal My daughter forgot her favourite teddy bear in the bus on the way home, so I texted them about it and returned it to my hotel reception the day after without asking for extra money, this was a huge bonus for me, really good service!

Staff didn’t speak... - Staff didn’t speak English. Too loud and too many people on the ship. If you looking for a relaxing boat trip. I wouldn’t recommend this. Kids screaming and people all around you.
