About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- NHwanderer0 contributionsDon't miss the Magic Fountains Evening event and the Barrancas NeighborhoodThis well done tour by Lima Highlights was planned as a shore excursion from Callao port. It included a bus and walking tour of Barrancas, which has lots of meaningful well done street art murals. A lively area with cafes, restaurants, and flowers. This was followed by a trip to the Guiness record holding Magic Fountains night show of lights, music, water and a panorama of moving pictures behind the fountains of water. I've never seen anyting quite like it. Our guide adjusted the timing of the tour to suit the needs of our ship's shuttle to Parque de Amor and back to the parque to meet the ship shittle aagin. It worked like clockwork. Highly recommeneded and professional tour!Written 8 December 2024
- Joaquim123456780 contributionsNice tourThe boat ride along the coast was stunning, and the vintage train added a charming touch to the experience. The guide was knowledgeable and provided great insights into the history and culture of Mallorca. My only slight disappointment was that the tour felt a bit rushed at times, with limited time in some locations. Nevertheless, it’s a fantastic way to explore Mallorca in a day, and I highly recommend it! 4 stars!Written 2 December 2024
- mrsequitone0 contributionsRude tour guide!Nice trip but....tour guide very rude (German woman) I was 10 minutes late getting back to the coach because I had lost my friend, the tour guide was extremely rude to me, said friend turned up 20 minutes late and she didn't say a word to her, just had a massive go at me (while out of earshot of the coach/other passengers). I also suspect she thought we were a couple (which we are not)... and came over as homophobic. Not a nice experience when supposed to be relaxing on holiday. Would not recommend not use this company againWritten 21 November 2024
- StuartB7150 contributionsSuperb caves, can be a bit crowdedWe went on a "no frills" tour trip and that was fine although took longer than we expected. However, the caves are great. They let groups in an hour apart so it's worth letting the first people in your group get ahead so you are not surrounded, then you can appreciate the amazing stalactites and stalagmites. A few more signs with history of the caves might be useful but that's minor. The music show was very impressive, very atmospheric and excellent musicians. One comment would be not to bother with the boat trip unless you REALLY want to go on it. The queue was huge so we gave up and walked along the side of the lake to the exit, and realised the boats only take you about 30 meters so about 5 minutes in the boat, which we didn't think was worth it.Written 7 November 2024
- ssssssssssssssa0 contributionsCuevas del DrachWe got there by car and did not use organised half day trip. Entrance fee is 17 EUR per person. Caves are fantastic and very impressive, and it is in the end more than 1 km hike under ground. It is a little bit crowdy, because they are allowing to enter more than 100 people at a time, but if You know what to expect then it is easier to accept this. Highly recomment to visit cuevas del Drach.Written 5 November 2024
- simona1811TS0 contributionsGreatAwesome guide, beautiful cave, shame that you are not allowed to video record the 15 min concert on the lake, which was very beautifulWritten 2 November 2024
- Companion5843660 contributionsExtremely poor service.Do not book with us company. The trip was cancelled, however no-one ring to inform us, my daughter was really looking foward to the trip, and we paid 40 euros in taxi's, which we can now not get back. When we arrived, and handed over the booking confirmation, the woman was extremely rude and abrupt.said the trip was cancelled, I asked why no one had ring to inform us. She lied and said she didn't have our number. Later another staff member said it would be impossible to ring everyone, so they did have our number.Written 31 October 2024
- 580tamsinc0 contributionsLovely tour caves of drachA great tour. Sebastian our tour guide was amazing at clear communication with all nationalities on the tour. And he was a nice guy. The caves were lovely and the concert in the caves at the end of the tour is fabulous. Such a lovely experience. It was a good tour that only took up half of our day. Picked up from our hotel and dropped back also.Written 27 October 2024

- D6732GOrachelb0 contributionsNot worth it.Did the 2.5 hour boat tour. We left at 10:00, stopped at 3 other places to pick people up and we’re back in the area by 11:45. Posted that we’d be swimming in a secluded beach for 45 min, that was a lie. He said we would stop for 15-20min and then We stopped for 5 min didn’t even give access to the water. Everyone had bathing suits on for no reason. Would not recommend. It was a beautiful view and you will wish you were on a smaller boat or jet ski.Written 21 October 2024
- CS-Linlithgow0 contributionsGreat fun for the family.Amazing fun. Roughly 5 hours from start to finish with two stops for swimming in the bay and one at the beach which I think was Formentor (?). The first stop they gave out paddle boards and the second was in shallower water. The water was lovely with plenty of fish around. After the beech stop they served food on board. Plenty of it…paella, a chicken pasta dish, bread and watermelon. There was also sangria, soft drinks and water. The staff were great fun with some singing too. Highly recommend this trip.Written 20 October 2024

Nice sunny day lovely walk around palma a few cafe bars nice bit of food and a boat trip round the harbourWritten 17 October 2024
- valschull0 contributionsGood and bad. A long day out.There's good and bad to this day trip. I liked being collected near my hotel (still 10 minutes walk away) and returned in the evening. The coach was comfortable, the driver and Guide both excellent. But I didn't enjoy the scary road and tedious hairpin bends across the Tramuntanas, I would rather have visited a northern town. Saw wild goats, and many serious cyclists. All this to be taken to a tourist trap before the boat ride to Port de Soller. The big boat was a touristy thing, not a boaty experience. From there I enjoyed the tram ride, and Soller is very nice for a drink in the Square. Then there was a train ride to Palma, not so interesting, to rejoin the coach. Scenery was dramatic, everything very dry. I was not the only person flattened out by it all, returning very tired to my hotel after 10 hours.Written 15 October 2024

I love a boat trip, but this one was just a touch to long and in the end got abit boring.
The boat trip was beautiful I just love being on the sea, and visiting Formentor beach was so lovely and the sea was gorgeous and so clear and you stayed there for about a hour and 20mins.
But when we left I thought we may have stopped off so we can swim and snorkel in the sea like most boat trips do but this was not the case if they don’t do this they should have let us stay on the beach a little longer as we just sat on the boat again and it got so boring going back.
4 hrs is far to long on a trip if you don’t do anything in between.
Just a shame, as the guys on the boat never even interacted with us if they did it would have been more fun and the time would not have dragged so long..

Trip was nice, pickup and boarding was good and as planed.
We stoped to see somee fishes and schwim for 15 min at the coast. There is a waterslide from to boat into the sea and a glas bottom to see fish.
The second stop at the beach was nice but crowded.
Staff was friendly and they had a bar on board for food and drinks.
Children welcome and even trollers are able to board.
All in all a good trip, but nothing for people who see real adventures.

There was plenty of room on board. It was quite cooling on a very hot day! The coastline was glorious and the beach stop was very nice. Watch out for the goats who you steal your food and maybe take some sea sandals s the shoreline is a bit rocky underfoot.

Had a great day! Met captain Albert with no issues and boarded the boat. There was 12 of us which seemed like the perfect number given the snorkelling and paddleboards provided. There’s was plenty of snacks and beverages available throughout the trip. Albert informed us of the history of the boat and the areas we visited.
Having been on a catamaran trip in the past, this smaller grouped experience was preferred.
We would recommend this. We would certainly do it again!

Thanks for recommending our boat trip. We are very happy that you enjoyed yourself and that Captain Albert looked after you. We love this boat trip for exactly the same reasons as those which you have highlighted: the boat is the perfect size and the number of passengers allowed is just right too.
We hope you had a great holiday.

I would rather give 0 points. We really wanted to go to Cap Formentor, as stated in the description. Unfortunately, we didn't go there, but were able to look at it from a very long distance. The captain said it was too crowded. When we asked the travel agent about it, he apparently consulted the boat company, who said we were at the cape and took the exact route.
Who should we believe? The fact is, we weren't at the cape and we spent half the day pointlessly basking in the sun on this very crowded boat 😒

It's not worth doing this trip by boat. And especially not with the children. I had to pull myself together. My daughter was not feeling well at all. Most of the children were throwing up on the boat. It stank of... After a 1.5 hour trip we were stranded in Formento. The beach was completely overcrowded, dirty and the water stank of feces. A short time later we swam back. We didn't visit the second lighthouse, and we didn't stop off at the beautiful beach with fun in the water. My son was very disappointed that he couldn't slide down the slide into the sea. After a 1.5 hour trip back we were happy to be able to feel the land beneath our feet again. Never again!

Appalling. We spent €300 for five of us to do a boat trip to Formentor, bought from Ferrer Janeiro hotel. We were told to wait outside the sister hotel Ferrer Concord at 9:30. We waited from 9:20 and asked the hotel which bus to get. They said they didn’t know as they each have different signs everyday. We waited till 10:00. We asked every bus. A couple of buses came for different tours. One for Aqualand and one for Caves of Drach. We spoke to hotel who we had paid for the tickets. They called NoFrills, spoke to the manager and they won’t give a refund and can’t offer any alternative option. This was for my daughter’s 21st birthday. Don’t use this company.

hi
we already replied to you about this, and you perfectly know you had your refund done. So please dont lie.
The bus stopped where it was supposed, there is even a video, and you did not even move to go to the bus. In fact, on an email you sent to us you said "five of us were standing outside the hotel, as shown in the video" Maybe you were expecting the driver to come to you, take your hand and take you to the bus. No idea. Imagine if you were to take a flight, and you are there waiting by your seat, expecting the airline staff to come to your seat to say "Dear sir, your gate is 12, ill take you there".
We have zero tolerance to blackmail threats and people lying like you.

What a dreadful trip ! Its basically an overcrowded ‘bus trip’. 1.50 hours up the coast line to Formentor beach . Beach was overcrowded and dirty - stayed there for 1.5 hours . Overpriced cafe & gift shop . Then the interminable trip back . No shade on the top deck . Lower deck a mass of kids screaming babies and buggies. All for the bargain of €30 . I wouldn’t go on it again if you paid me double .
My idea of hell ! Good luck of you decide to go .

Highly recommend this trip along the most stunning coastline. We dropped anchor in a secluded cove with crystal clear waters for a quick swim. Then had an hour in Formentor beach which is beautiful and has a restaurant and a well equipped gift shop
