Nice boat trip! You really see a lot of fish and the trip into the cave is adventurous. However, the description "overlooking the submarine" is somewhat misleading. We didn't see a submarine. It probably just means that there are windows in the lower part of the ship to watch the fish. All in all a nice tour!

Excellent trip comfortable a no fuss delightful sea journey highly recommend it to those wishing to visit Cadaques and without the mountainous trek by car to get there the coastline is also a pleasure to see One downside ; Dreadful piped music absolutely not necessary

journey long enough to appreciate the landscape near the coast and good feelings on the boat my wife having difficulty moving the staff was very attentive we have against her (very good) the stop in Cadaqués a little just to see this small typical village

Lovely boat trip with multilingual commentary and very helpful staff. Easy boarding and punctual. Excellent skipper putting the boat close to the caves for all to see. Well recommended.

Wonderful tour! Our guide, Ruben, was great. He was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Girona, Catalonia and Salvador Dali. We got some great photos too!
