Pip Bell
Great ferry ride, satisfying to see the cape from the water and only 25 mins to reach destination . Formentor beach was better than described crystal turquoise waters . The swimming ideal

Katarina
All was very straightforward with clear signage to departure, friendly staff and a great journey there and back! Ferry was on time both ways and it was great some refreshments were available on board.

The trip in itself was as expected - straightforward and clearly communicated . However it was really disappointing to hear when we exchanged our e ticket for real tickets that our 7 yr old child did not need an adult ticket as per the booking site - and so we had been overcharged. Nothing the kiosk could do as we had booked through nofrills excursions…. But worth noting that the child age is actually under 12 not under 4. So whilst the trip in itself was good, we were significantly overcharged.
