“Great day out on the catamaran. Saw pilot whales, turtles and flying fish. Booked a Balinese day bed which was fab. Food was good too. A great afternoon out with smooth transfers. Unlimited drinks is beer or soft drinks only. Wine and cocktails you need to pay for. Would have preferred a full size bottle of Cava than a mini moet champagne which only just gave us two small glasses between two as small bottle really meant for one person.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 20 reviews · 3 - 4.5 hours · from $55

“Nice, relaxing trip, with very helpful and attentive staff. Am currently using a walking stick and was on my own, so appreciated the designated seat on the coach; not having to queue for the boat and being allowed to board first. Lovely encounter with a group of pilot whales - very close to the boat. We also got to swim in Masca Bay - much easier than from some boats, as a full set of steps lowers into the sea. Lunch was edible, but not very nice. Two things that should be mentioned in the trip advertising: 1) you have to pay an additional 25 Euros for a double sunbed…”
