We were a family of 11 and had a fantastic day on the boat. Antonia was very helpful in booking the trip and Antonio was great as our guide on the boat. All areas were interesting and where you want to visit where they recommend. We asked for a quieter spot to snorkel on our private tour and Antonio was happy to accommodate. Only point to improve would be for some ice packs in the fridge/cool box to keep drinks colder than they were. Other than that we had a fantastic day and would recommend to anyone with a family to go with Mala Mara Boat Tours for a family day out on the boat.

Excellent private speedboat tour of the Elaphiti Islands! Beautiful day, clear sea and hidden coves. Special praise to our skipper Luka who was professional, relaxed and adapted the route to our wishes, showed us the best swimming locations and made us feel completely safe. Highly recommended to everyone!

This was a great excursion, the blue cave was the best and managed to do two of the other three. Out captain was excellent, very patient and helpful with varying levels of water competence. He was also good fun with the boat. All in all a good afternoon trip. Fully recommend. Also, beer and wine served on board.

Fantastic day when deciding to cruise by private boat definitely added to the day. We saw so much more and were guided superbly into areas where others don’t go to allow us to do quiet swims then also fitted in the main highlights of the blue and green caves at a time to suit us. It creates a day we will remember for a long time. Thank you.
