★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5,588 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $83Our pick

Review of Ibiza’s six-hour beach-hopping catamaran cruise with paddleboards, snorkeling, food, drinks, swim stops, and sunset views.

“Brilliant afternoon - we enjoyed every minute of it. Entire crew were very friendly, fun, helpful & professional. Due to bad weather our original booking had to be changed to next day and the operator / Kelly contacted me via WhatsApp and responded quickly too when I couldn’t find location on day (put Float Your Boat Ibiza into Google maps rather than the Viator location). Every age was on tour too - we are in our 30s, there was one child and a 75th birthday celebrated too! Book it & enjoy a great day!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,969 reviews · 8 hours · from $81

Spend a full day from Split swimming at Šolta, the Blue Lagoon, and Čiovo, with breakfast, lunch, unlimited drinks, and snorkeling gear.

“Great day out visiting three of Split’s beautiful islands. I opted for the tuna steak which was tasty but my daughter didn’t like the veggie option. Lots of people jumped into the water at the Blue Lagoon but we weren’t brave enough (it was mid October and about 20 degrees). The free lemonade is more like lemon squash. And the wine is okay, tastes better the more you have! Overall a lovely day out.”

Review of Malta’s Lazy Pirate boat party with open bar, food, DJ music, a moonlit swim, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“We were a group of 5 girls, we really enjoyed the experience overall. Drinks were good and there was good music. The swim stop wasn’t great if you specifically want to swim but it’s fine for what it it. The only negative was the security got very aggressive with one of my friends when she was trying to find the rest of the group, swearing and pushing her.”

The food was mind-blowing and prepared right there on the ship in front of us. There was nothing pre-prepared or manufactured about any of the snacks or the lunch. Truly cannot say enough good things about this experience.”
