Paradise Tour 4h in Catamaran through Mallorca and Puerto Andratx with Lunch

Purchased tickets the day before in the shop. Gentlemen was very helpful. Day of cruise was hot, so we hoped to get a seat in the shade, of which there were plenty below deck, with an open window so we could take photographs. Crew were cheerful and announcements informative. Time allocated at Port d'Andratx was just ballaced right, not too short or long. Food was lovely, and we were allowed 2nd serving. We recommend.

A great day trip for me and my disabled brother. He is 69 and I'm 66. The staff / crew we so helpful and understanding of my brother's needs which I found very reassuring. I loved the trip and love being on the water and in it so the swim stops were welcome. Lunch was included and a surprise for us. It came after the port of call so don't be going to a restaurant and having lunch. Pasta and carne, simple but plenty of it. Me, personally, I loved it.

Was an okay boat tour, have been on better. Very over crowded and food made me and my partner have an icky stomach and I threw up on the way back to the hotel.

3 adults, one with significant mobility issues and 2 teenagers. Asked lots of questions before booking about accessibility. They convinced us it would be OK for our needs. Unfortunately they neglected to tell us there was a half mile walk from the bus stop to the boat and were very impatient when it took us twice as long to walk the distance. Once on board, the snorkels and masks were not free, I think you could hire or rent them but many ppl had not realised this beforehand. No other equipment. 2 short 15-20 swims stops in average locations (not particularly interesting spots). We stopped at andatrx for 40 mins where they pulled right into dock, so no swimming. Told everyone to go have a look around and then served a very basic pasta dish and some salad upon return but due to large numbers on board, many were still queuing for food when we were already back at sea. As the sea was choppy, there were a few being sick and it was difficult walking around with plates of food when moving. Then they started doing stops on the way back picking up passengers for the afternoon cruise, while we were still on ours. Boat was not in particularly good condition and we ended up having to sit inside as not many outside seats downstairs. Have ben on many boat trips and this wasn't a great one.

Not bad for €40 but if I knew there’d be over 200 people on the boat then I would’ve paid double for half the amount. What was also unfortunate was that there was a school trip of around 50 teenagers on the strip who slept on their arms, laying across the inside tables. Now, I totally appreciate this may not happen every trip but they did cause a bit of chaos as they just kept moving about from table to table after each stop. If you left your belongings to ‘reserve’ your table then they just squeezed it to the end and took up the other 8 spaces. However, the trip itself was quite well organised and the timings were prompt. There were 2x 20min swim stops and a 1 x 40min land stop. Cans of soda were €2 and beer/sangria were €5/6. Food was bolognaise, pasta salad and plain salad. Not bad tasting so we didn’t go hungry. Staff were friendly enough and obviously shook a passive aggressive tip jar on the way out We were a group of 6 well travelled friends, who all said that we would pay more for less people. But for €40, you get what you pay for.

Had a fabulous experience with the cruise. Booked with a really nice lady in Santa Ponsa who was very helpful. The cruise was great fun! Stops for swimming were fabulous and the whole thing felt fun with the captain being entertaining and accommodating 😁😁

We were very disappointed as the trip was not as described when we booked it. It felt more like a ferry ride. There was already passengers on the boat when we were picked up from the jetty in Santa Ponsa. Getting on board was slow as they took pictures of everyone to sell to them so it took a while to get onboards. Seats were limited. The boat could accommodate 250 people, and we had 210 on our cruise. It would have been very uncomfortable at full capacity. There was 2 swim stops and a stop at the port. You could borrow their snorkel masks for a €10 deposit. We swam at the second stop and there was nothing to see in the water. When we got back on board they had already started serving lunch which was nice pasta and salad, some bread to accompany it would have been nice. The staff were nice and drinks were reasonably priced. All in all very disappointed as we were really looking forward to it, but didn't realise much of the trip would be taken up with pick up and drop off of new passengers. No mention of this on their sales information.

We booked to go on the Cruise Cormoran for our last full day of a wonderful holiday in Santa Ponsa - thinking it would be the perfect ending to our brilliant week away. We paid around 120 Euros for the 4hr trip with lunch included. We thought it would be a real treat. We were picked up at the jetty in Santa Ponsa and thought ourselves lucky to be pretty much at the front of the queue as there was a hell of a lot of people behind us - we felt like we would be certain to get a seat on the top deck for the amazing scenery. Alas no, the boat had already picked up a lot of passengers from another cove which we weren't aware of - this meant to the top deck was already full! We had to sit inside the boat with the whole crowd of fellow new passengers and we were very cramped up inside. The crew were friendly but we could barely hear the captain speaking and it was very difficult to understand his commentary (or lack of it) on the cruise and didn't really know which areas of the coastline we were passing, which was a shame. A short while in, the boat stopped to let passengers swim in the sea for around 10 minutes, we all set sail again and around 10 minutes later there was a panic on board as one passenger was missing - he had been left in the sea - there musn't have been a head count or safety measures in place to check all swimmers had come back on board. It was a very worrying situation. The boat had to turn back and quickly return to find the passenger - luckily he was found and well, after swimming about 100 metres towards the boat with no lines or aids thrown to him to assist him, but once safely on board the Captain was shouting at him that he had ruined the trip for the other passengers, it was quite uncomfortable to witness. The boat stopped at Port Andryx but we were only given 20 minutes to look around - which was just about enough time to get a cold drink from the shop and then it was time to get back onto the boat, It was pointless really. As soon as we were back on board it was lunch time - which consisted of two big plastic containers filled with plain pasta with salad or a bolognese option - this meant everyone queueing in the middle deck completely taking up the narrow space in the aisle - it was quite chaotic. We waited til the end to get our dinner but it was quite a disappointing bland meal, not the delicious lunch we were anticipating. In summary we were left feeling dissatisfied with our trip, it was a bit of a let down for our last day - we wished wed spent the day doing something else. The views were amazing at times but the whole experience on the boat left us feeling quite miserable, it feels like a bit of a money spinner without much care for the passengers.

Paid 35 euros for a 4-hr trip which included snorkelling stops. Very poor experience compared to previous such excursions on other European holidays. Boat arrived in Santa Ponsa at 1.25pm for 1.30pm sail. Queues and ticket checking took 20mins and we also stopped another 20mins later for another 20mins to pick up more people. Only then did we properly head off. Probably 60pc occupied with 125 people onboard. There's little information and few announcements. It's a double deck boat for what is called the Nirvana cruise. It has a toilet and a bar selling hot dogs, crisps, beer and ice cream. There are only lifejackets for small kids and the snorkels require a 10 euro cash refundable deposit. The snorkelling areas we went to (two stops) were very choppy and no attempt was made by the crew to try other waters or to engage with customers. All in all, very disappointing. There's far better experiences out there.

Not impressed. Me and my family booked this cruise and were very excited, as boat trips are usually the highlight of our holidays. However, on top of the insane heat and lack of seats, the crew were not very friendly. There were barely any announcements, so we didn’t really know where we were stopping or where we were. The swims were without doubt gorgeous, however the boat only stopped for 20 minutes at each bay which wasn’t enough time. We stopped at the port for 45 minutes which was also not enough time to do anything. Quite disappointing for the price…
