This year my wife and I booked this excursion again after we had a great day last year. The captain of the boat speaks at least german and english apart from his native language. We booked the tour via our travel agency so I don't know how it works if you book it by yourself. The small bus was on time and after he picked up another 13 persons he brought us to the port of Cala Ratjada. There had been a few people aboard already. The group consisted of 36 persons which is not very much compared to other tours. The captain steers the boat pretty close to the coast of this nature reservation which means you can take loads of great pictures or just enjoy the view. There are several stops during the day where swimming and snorkelling is possible and highly recommended. You can drink Cola and Lemonade (no brands) as well as beer and water all from the tap and I think local wine was already available. Shortly after the beginning there are slices of bread with different coverings served and later on there is a small lunch dinner. I did like the fisherman's rice but there was although pork and chicken and different salads. What might happen is that the excursion is postponed because of the weather and you have to chose an alternate date. The captain won't do the trip if the experience would be bad due to (sea) weather conditions It's really worth the price and if we are on Mallorca again we will surely do this excursion again. read more
