Pollensa Boat Trip with Snorkel, Drinks, Snack, Stand Up Paddle

Reviews for the boat trip in the bay of Pollensa:

  Had a great day! Met captain Albert with no issues and boarded the boat. There was 12 of us which seemed like the perfect number given the snorkelling and paddleboards provided. There’s was plenty of snacks and beverages available throughout the trip. Albert informed us of the history of the boat and the areas we visited. Having been on a catamaran trip in the past, this smaller grouped experience was preferred. We would recommend this. We would certainly do it again!

  We chose this trip as we wanted to see this particular area in greater detail and were treated to a truly wonderful day beyond our expectations. Our hosts were genuinely warm and friendly and had a tremendous knowledge of the local area and wildlife. The boat itself was very comfortable and had a nice cosy feel and was easy to get around and catered for about a dozen people who were themselves were very friendly. The boat stopped at several points and took in some beautiful sights where you could water board and and snorkel with equipment provided and there was food and soft drinks laid on as well as part of the price. This really is a must do trip and was worth every penny and we would very much like to do it again another time. Thank you very much for lovely day.

  We booked this last minute and took our 2 children (11 and 12). This is much more expensive than some of the larger boat trips, but the smaller size was more appealing to us. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the boat was comfortable and there was room to lay on the sunbeds. We stopped at 2 spots and there was plenty of time to snorkel and paddleboard or kayak in the turquoise waters. A beautiful day. There was as much to drink as I wanted, but the only criticism was that the "lunch" was very basic: some stale breads and slices of cheese and cold meat seemed somewhat meager given the price of € 65 for adults and € 55 for children for 4 hours in the boat.

  A boat with character, a perfect walk through the bay of Pollença, a spectacular view of Formentor from the sea, friendly and competent skipper and crew, a good snack on board ... totally recommended, without a doubt.

  Albert was extremely patient, friendly and helpful guide/captain! He is very knowledgeable of the history of the island and gave us a great tour of the route and the boat, as well. The aperitifs were also lovely. For the price and quality, this excursion was worth it.

  5 stars. 10/10 would recommend we had a great time. A taxi was sent for us to the door of our hotel, we were greeted by Albert and Sandy who were amazing guides. We made two stops where we had plenty of time to snorkel, swim and paddle board. The views were gorgeous. On our second stop we had some food and sunbathe on the top deck. Lemonade, wine, beer and other minerals were provided along with ice. So glad we did the tour, fantastic day out.

  1er. Embarquement à 10 h .même pas un café. 2er. Lunch. Quelques morceaux de pain ,Quelques morceaux de fromage ainsi que du jambon. Boisson .bière, eau coca . Tandis que le capitaine est son assistante se cuisine des pâtes chaudes. 3er stop pendant 45 minutes en attendant de pouvoir passer la zone soit disant protéger. Ceci n est pas dit lors de la réservation. 4ème. Baignade sans surprise est tout cela pour 130 euros à deux. Le tout vous est vendu pour 4 heures de navigation. J ai fait pas mal d île c est la première fois que je suis autant déçu.

  What a fantastic way to end our holiday. Wendy and Albert very very friendly & made us feel very welcome. The boat is a beautiful wooden vessel built in the 1960’s and has been kept in fantastic condition considering its age. We were all offered the option of life jackets from the start and had safety briefings at each stop plus information about the local area from Wendy which was very interesting. This is a very intimate tour as the boat only takes 12 people but fortunately for us there was only 8 on our trip meaning we had loads of space to spread out. The boat offers plenty of shade and there were free drinks throughout the tour that you could help yourself to including beer, wine and soft drinks (Cola, Fanta, Water etc). Also supplied was bread, cheese, cooked meats, olives etc. We made 2 stops of just over an hour each where we could jump from the boat, make use of the 3 the paddle boards, use the supplied snorkel gear and even try our luck fishing! If you’re after an almost private 4 hour boat trip without paying big money then this is not to be missed. We will most definitely be booking again when we return.

  I have booked this experience for 25/08 more than a month in advance (20/07) as it was my partner's birthday and I wanted to surprise him. I get a phone call on 25/07 (a month before the excursion) by the captain being upset because we were not ready for our excursion. This wasn't a great start so I emailed the company 3 days before the excursion date to check if everything was confirmed and after getting a positive reply I relax. The day before the excursion I get a phone call saying that the tour is overbooked and even though I booked so far in advance they needed to change my booking because 12 people booked in one go and they had the priority. They rebooked me on another tour with 50 people instead of 12 and no pick up. No explanation of what type of tour would be was given. Only after getting in touch with the new captain more information was provided. I found out that the new experience was significantly cheaper and again, only after my request, I was refunded the difference. On the day of the excursion it was severely raining and thunderstorm was forecast so we asked if we could get a refund or rebook the experience given the circumstances. I am still awaiting a reply. Overall my experience has been awful, poorly organised and only responsive when convenient for them.
