Join guides such as Paul, Ethan, Olivia, Anatole, or Isabelle for a three-hour Geneva walk with five chocolateries, one pastry shop, a surprise stop, 12 tastings, Old Town sights, chocolate stories, and a short boat crossing near the Jet d’Eau.
“Anatole was very knowledgeable and pleasant! The history was great and the chocolate delicious! You'll leave full!”
Spend three hours on the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park with bilingual naturalist guides, watching for belugas, humpbacks, fin whales, and minke whales. AML Cruises offers indoor and outdoor viewing, a bistro, fjord scenery, and optional VIP or upper-deck access from Tadoussac or Baie-Sainte-Catherine.
“We were very fortunate to see many marine mammals on this trip. Our guide was excellent and seemed as excited as we were to get such amazing views of these majestic animals!”
Sail three hours from Albufeira toward Carvoeiro on a spacious catamaran with a bar, lounge, WiFi, and live commentary in English and Portuguese. You’ll visit Benagil’s Cathedral Cave, pass dramatic coastal rock, and stop for a swim when sea conditions allow. A paid flybridge upgrade adds top-deck seating.
“We booked a boat tour and also added the upgrade for €10 per person, which I can honestly recommend to everyone. Please note that this upgrade includes a wine tasting. The boat tour itself was a lot of fun. It was very pleasant and not overcrowded, so everyone still had enough space and could really relax. The atmosphere was calm and enjoyable, and you could truly unwind during the trip. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Overall, it was a great and relaxing tour, and I can genuinely recommend this boat tour to anyone visiting.”
Meet at Vanilla Beach Ibiza in Playa d’en Bossa at 3 pm for a three-hour catamaran party with live DJs, Spanish dancers, drinks, food, a possible swim stop, and a champagne shower. Your ticket also advertises after-party and club access, though you should confirm those details before sailing.
“Great party with a good DJ and drinks! Hire a bed with some champagne or booze for extra fun! The party ends with some Champaign showers.”
Meet at Stokes Hill Wharf for a three-hour Sail Darwin catamaran cruise. Board at 4:45pm for a prompt 5pm departure, then enjoy continuous tapas, unlimited sparkling wine, soft drinks, and Darwin Harbour sunset views. BYO drinks are welcome and onboard coolers keep them chilled.
“Excellent cruise… exactly as described. Food/drinks/staff/ service… the best. Second time I’ve been on this cruise, highly recommend”
Spend three hours swimming from a boat at Traganou Caves, Ladiko Bay, and Anthony Quinn Bay. Faliraki hotel transfers can be arranged, and your fare includes drinks, fruit, Greek snacks, snorkel gear, and swimming noodles. This is a relaxed water outing, not a guided history tour.
“It was a total waste of money and time. It was a huge disappointment from start to finish. There was no real effort to create an enjoyable experience.”
Join Antonio and the MPC Yacht Charter crew for a relaxed three-hour sailing trip from Los Gigantes. On the 14-meter El Mojo Picón, you may see pilot whales, dolphins, turtles, and fish before swimming or snorkeling in a clear-water cove beneath the cliffs. Shared trips hold up to nine guests, with private charters for up to ten.
“Very knowledgable guide. We saw a group of whales swimming close to the boat, had a nice trip along the coast, enjoyed a good swim, had on the way back tasty snacks. Good value for money. Thanks for a perfect excursion!”
Sail Sal Island’s coast for three relaxed hours with Cape Verde Sailing, usually in a small group of about 15 to 20 people. Expect drinks, light snacks, a short swim or snorkel stop, and possible dolphins, turtles, or flying fish. Crews may include Daisy, Wesley, Jair, or Marcio.
“A great day out for me and my 2 boys. The team were amazing, loads of laughs. We saw pilot whales, turtles and had a great time snorkeling. Definitely an afternoon well spent!”
