Watch wild dolphins off Palma, swim in a clear cove, and enjoy a three-hour boat trip with optional transfers and onboard drinks.
“Very nice boat tour, we stopped in a beautiful bay to swim and snorkel for about 15 min, then we moved to catch the dolphins (we saw a bunch of them for about 20 min). On the boat are sold cold drinks and there’s a little toilet. A very good activity overall, the only thing to say is there was no guide at all (but not strictly necessary for the activity in my opinion)”
Cruise from Rhodes to beautiful Symi, enjoy three hours in its pastel harbor town, then watch the sunset aboard the Aphrodite Princess.

“Things out of Giovanni’s control: Overcast, nothing really great to see bc it’s the Med, choppy waves. In his control: letting us know where life vests are, chatting with friends in a visiting boat so we had to rush back, too many people on the boat, and where’s the shallow water in the picture?? Very nice person but trip was meh. Melon and drinks were good!”
Pick a coast, a lagoon or a kind of day.
