“10/10 experience! Several stops seeing the best parts of the islands, with a perfect amount of time at each stop. Saw the most wonderful beaches and lots of time for swimming in the crystal blue seas! Crew extremely friendly also and tasty lunch (reasonable price) on board. The best day out, would 100% recommend!”
Cruise Sardinia’s La Maddalena archipelago from Palau, with beach stops, snorkeling, island views, lunch aboard, and a choice of Caprera or La Maddalena town.
“The trip exceeded our expectations. We were lucky with a less crowded boat with plenty of space to enjoy food and drinks on board. The staff was very kind and tried to create a friendly atmosphere by sharing their names and the landmarks along the route. I particularly liked that they were announcing the food the chef was preparing and that you could order on board, it made the experience more personalised. The time at the stops was long enough to enjoy the places without getting bored. All of the stops were worthwhile. I recommend this experience!”

“Great trip, was guided all the way but also was given some time to explore by yourselfs”
Visit Gibraltar from Málaga, enjoy free time in town, and join a 90-minute boat trip to spot wild dolphins near the Strait.
“Th boat tour was fantastic, we stopped numerous times to watch the different species of dolphin, even the bottlenose! The coach drive there and back was a lot longer than advertised so we didn't get much time to explore Gibraltar. I think the pick up time should be extended so you can see more of the beautiful place. Our tour guide (i forget his name) was lovely and coped really well when the same 3 passengers delayed us at every step. All in all great value for money, I'd definitely recommend 👌”
Review of the Dubrovnik to Montenegro day trip, with Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks, Kotor, boat cruise, border tips, and value advice.
“Very enjoyable. Koror is an exquisite little town. All our guides were most helpful and attentive. The boat trip was very cramped but the lake scenery and the wonderful island church more than made up for that.”
Review of the Split to Krka National Park day trip, covering waterfalls, trails, boat ride, Skradin swimming stop, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“Wow amazing day trip, for the price is crazy! I’m gutted no one gave the tour guide any tips after the journey, please consider the cost of the excursion and what you get for the price, including your very own tour guide who’s very informative on the coach, trying to keep us entertained but no one was listening except a handful You get plenty of time at the waterfall, there’s an area where you meet up where there’s opportunities to get food snacks and drinks. Your looked after for the whole day and allowed plenty of time on the town that the boat takes you too (we swam on the…”

Cruise from Mykonos to ancient Delos and peaceful Rhenia for ruins, swimming, BBQ lunch, drinks, and a lively boat ride home.
“I loved getting out into the sea. It was so blue and clear. The boat ride was a bit rocky so bring meds if you need that. The crew was fun and we got fed and had plenty of drinks. We had plenty of opportunity tonget in the sun or swim in the sea. The water is cool but not cold so it's bearable after a minute. I'm not a atrong swimmer, but the salt water is easier to float in than fresh water. You can float/swim for a bit and come in or use a pool noodle to help float. I had a great time relaxing. You can also…”
Pick a coast, a lagoon or a kind of day.
