Is it worth it?

It can be worth it if you want a half-day excursion that combines sailing, a swim stop and buffet food without arranging each element separately. The main trade-off is that the swim location depends on sea conditions, while some extras such as certain drinks and snorkeling equipment are not included. Choose the morning departure for a longer experience or the sunset version if atmosphere matters more.

💡 TourBookGo tip

Choose the atmosphere first, then compare the options: the morning cruise lasts about 5 hours, while the sunset version lasts around 4 hours and adds music and a DJ. Also check which drinks your selected option includes before paying.
