Pirate Adventure Cruise incl. Lunch from Side

Brilliant day out

Absolutely great trip start to finish. So many stops to have a swim. Lunch was fantastic. Guys very welcoming. Would definelty recommend. Only downfall some guy having a go at staff as there was 11 in there group and not enough seats on upper deck. Telling staff 11 bad reviews going on cause they couldn't sit together. Plenty seats downstairs but guy having none of it. Seen he ended up on other pirate boat. Wouldn't have entertained him. Just entitled. So don't listen to negative reviews. These guys go out there way to make it so enjoyable.

Wonderful day out

Last minute booking via an agent in the hotel Reasonably priced - £35 per person (same price for children) Full day out, including transfers, face painting for the kids, games, lunch ( very tasty - chicken, rice and salad), foam party X2 stops for swimming Plenty of seating/sunbeds Very relaxed atmosphere You can go on a guided tour for 2 hours around Side at the end if you want but everyone was so exhausted I don't think anyone took that offer. Highly recommend this day out

Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Pirate Adventure Cruise from Side and appreciated the great value, delicious lunch, and fun activities like the foam party and swimming stops. It’s also lovely to know the kids had a good time with the face painting and games – we always aim to make it a memorable day for the whole family. We completely understand how a full day of fun can leave everyone ready to relax rather than join the optional Side tour at the end! Your kind recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you on board again in the future. Warm regards, The Tourmania Team

Ok if traveling with young children

Picked up on time. Arrived at boat all drinks have to be handed over before getting on and had to wait an hour for others to arrive. Beautiful weather for a boat trip. Stopped at the section of beach area which you must stay in our they shout at you. Each boat has a section of the beach/shops to use a few sunloungers. Jetski and camels available. Then lunch. Chicken, salad, rice and bread a typical but lovely trip lunch. Then sail a bit to sea for a swim stop in clear waters. Back on boat and sail back. 2nd floor gets cramped with foam party and children’s disco. The music played onboard is dull. The trip didn’t really have an atmosphere unlike others we have been on. Ages 11,14,17,41 and 60. We all thought it was boring and aimed at family’s with small children. Drinks all 3euros each. Onboard photographer at the start with his parrot - all extra cost. Arrived back to bus at 3pm to head back.

Good, cheap, not too long

It was a good trip for a little money. Lots of sea and music instead of words, interesting animation for children, delicious food

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us amazing review - it's much appreciated!

Disappointing and boring

To start with, the bus that picked us up was overcrowded, there were more people on the bus than seats, creating danger for all passangers. To be honest, the boat tour was disappointing and boring. We were expecting a big boat with quite a lot of fun as in the pictures from the website, but the boat was quite small and nothing like on the pictures. All drinks, even water bottles, were confiscated by the boat team before boarding, forcing us to buy drinks onboard. The entertainment was very poor, with one of the male crew members dressed as a woman being the highlight of the boat tour. Lack of proper entertainment during the tour made is really lenghty and boring. The staff was very nice, fun and smily though. The foam party, mainly addressed to kids, was stopped right at the beginning as the crew spotted a coast guard passing our boat. The swim breaks were good, but two out of three were on the same pebbled beach, would be better if the last brreak would be in another lagoon. All in all it wasn't a really good experience and definately not worth the money.

Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding the Pirate Adventure Cruise. We are glad to hear that you found our staff friendly and welcoming. We sincerely apologize for the aspects of the tour that did not meet your expectations. We regret that the bus was overcrowded, the boat did not match your expectations, and that the entertainment and drink policy impacted your enjoyment. Your comments regarding the foam party, swim stops, and overall experience are valuable, and we will review them carefully to improve the tour for future guests. We appreciate your honest feedback and hope you will consider joining us on another Tourmania experience, where we aim to provide a more enjoyable and memorable trip. Kind regards, Tourmania Team
