Cape Formentor Boat Trip in Mallorca

Boring trip avoid

We booked this trip through our hotel but it is advertised everywhere. 4 hour boat trip literally sailed to another beach sat there for a hour then sailed back. The boat also played Spanish music so loud you couldn't hear someone sitting next to you. I wish I had Spent money elsewhere

Save your money. Hire a pedalo or private boat

Where do I start? I was sold this from a street seller for the company on the basis there was slides and boat jumps for the kids on the way back from the beach. The children (teens) were really excited about this. I was looking forward to the beach. The first half of the journey was really good, the crossing was easy and the beach was amazing however two or three hours at this beach wouldn’t have been enough. Then we went back further out to see, the crossing was choppy and everyone wanted to sit inside because it was so hot outside which meant he was crammed. This took two hours of C sickening sailing. To then be dropped off. So in a nutshell, you are paying to spend around one hour on another beach, which is nice but extremely busy. This excursion cost over €136 for my family to sit on another beach for one hour and to feel sick. I did ask the company afterwards and they have been very unhelpful. I don’t recommend.

Response from the operator: Dear guest, We must clarify that you did not book this excursion with Nofrills Excursions. The Cape Formentor Boat Trip has never included slides or boat jumps, and this is not advertised anywhere by us. It seems you were misinformed by a street seller who is not part of our company. This is exactly why we always recommend booking directly through our official Nofrills Excursions shops or website. There you will receive accurate information, honest advice, and the service of a team with over 20 years of experience in Mallorca. We listen to your needs, explain clearly what is included, and then it is up to you to decide — but at least you will have the correct details. Unfortunately, by buying from unofficial sellers who often don’t know what they are selling, expectations can be set incorrectly. Kind regards, The Nofrills Excursions Team

Terrible. Bus didn’t stop where they told us to wait. Missed the trip. No refund.

Appalling. We spent €300 for five of us to do a boat trip to Formentor, bought from Ferrer Janeiro hotel. We were told to wait outside the sister hotel Ferrer Concord at 9:30. We waited from 9:20 and asked the hotel which bus to get. They said they didn’t know as they each have different signs everyday. We waited till 10:00. We asked every bus. A couple of buses came for different tours. One for Aqualand and one for Caves of Drach. We spoke to hotel who we had paid for the tickets. They called NoFrills, spoke to the manager and they won’t give a refund and can’t offer any alternative option. This was for my daughter’s 21st birthday. Don’t use this company.

Response from the operator: hi we already replied to you about this, and you perfectly know you had your refund done. So please dont lie. The bus stopped where it was supposed, there is even a video, and you did not even move to go to the bus. In fact, on an email you sent to us you said "five of us were standing outside the hotel, as shown in the video" Maybe you were expecting the driver to come to you, take your hand and take you to the bus. No idea. Imagine if you were to take a flight, and you are there waiting by your seat, expecting the airline staff to come to your seat to say "Dear sir, your gate is 12, ill take you there". We have zero tolerance to blackmail threats and people lying like you.

Standing room only

By the time we got picked up there was little room to stand let alone sit - mainly caused by the people who were picked up first taking up 2 sometimes three seats which the crew did nothing about. They cram way too many people onto the boat which makes its a very unpleasant trip.

Response from the operator: Good afternoon We are sorry that you did not enjoy the experience. On the website everything is perfectly indicated: type of boat, capacity, if there is food and what it is... then each client makes their decision, whether to book or not. There are certainly more options for boat trips, with boats of smaller capacity, although at a higher price. On the website you can see all the options and compare. Also keep in mind that in August, this boat and all the boats are full. And everybody has itw own seat as places are limited and numbered. Nobody has to stand up. Regards
