5.00We absolutely loved this boat trip, mostly because the crew were so friendly and nice. The food was excellent and lunch was one of the best meals we had on the island! I would much rather take this boat trip to Balos Lagoon than any other way. Thank you so much to the captain and crew!

5.00The family that guides this trip to Balos is very welcoming and kind, thinking of every need travelers may have. The boat is beautiful, providing shade, comfort, and privacy. From welcoming us with coffee or a drink, to a delicious lunch, the crew provided above and beyond service to us. We absolutely appreciated the thoughtfulness and, of course, the destinations were incredible to visit. One tip: plan to leave earlier to get to the dock before departure than you may expect, as traffic can delay you by 15-20 minutes. You can drive right up to the catamaran at the end of the dock, if you let the parking attendants know. Don’t miss this trip with a lovely family and plenty of adventure and luxury.
