We enjoyed the trip a lot. The boat, the scenery and the food were good, the crew didn't come with a lot of information during the trip but they were professional and did their job well. We spent Apr. 1.5 hours to get to the location where we got to swim and had lunch. The speed on the way back was higher during the first part of the trip and we spent shorter time on the return. As I read the reviews up front, I knew that we had to pay 6€ per passenger for access to the front part of the boat so we managed to secure good spots when we arrived. It is unfortunate that the additional fees are not mentioned in the advertisements, although it is optional to pay and be on the front of the boat. On the way to the boat from Alicante, I discovered that I had made a reservation for the wrong day. I downloaded the GetYourguide app and managed to change the dates without any additional fees in only a few seconds - this was definitely super nice.

When making the reservation I had a little problem since it did not let me choose Denia or Jávea and when I received the confirmation email it said that it was leaving from Denia, when I booked it the night before the same morning at 9 in the morning I called them and They solved it super fast and without any problem, the views are beautiful, the super nice crew and the best thing was the stop to snorkel

It’s a great way to spend a few hours at sea, amazing views, great music and a beautiful view the whole way. Take your snorkel gear.

We liked. Walk along the coast of Jávea to the portichol cove. The very friendly crew. It has been very nice.

Great trip to Javea and back. Lovely sun, which of course also helps. Seen beautiful rocks.
