Awful excursion which is massively operated. We paid £77.00 for a family of four to board the Nautilus 2. We bought our tickets at 1530 for a 1600 departure. We boarded with three other families and sat and waited to leave. Approx 10 minutes later 3 full coaches of tourists arrived and also boarded. The boat was absolutely full to capacity with not enough seats for everyone. We then only got 10 minutes looking at the bottom of the ocean which for £77.00 of our hard earned cash is a joke. I would advise that you save your money and board a cheaper boat. The Nautilus is a complete and utter rip off and I would not advise that you pay to board it. Please believe me when I say it was 10 minutes viewing time and that was it. Do not waste your money.

Fabulous trip. We did the Pirate Boat, 4pm on a Tuesday afternoon.
Out on slightly choppy waters, paused in a sheltered cove for swimming and a trip out in the small Zodiac to the caves. 3 trips around and about for the Zodiac - great fun.
Staff friendly, helpful with getting on and off the boat to Zodiac and in and out into the water.

Take your own snacks and drinks as non provided but well worth the money spent. €31 per adult.
4 very happy adults.

2 adults 2 kids. Supposed to be 90 minutes. Told when boarding it was been shortened but would receive part refund back at kiosk. Paid 72 euro for 90 minute trip. Trip was for 55 minutes. Trip shortened by 35 mins. Refund was 9 euro.. work the maths on that. Most enjoyable part was trip out and back. View when we stopped to see below was of some seaweed.we also spent 15 euro for photos on board. The lease they could have done was offered the photos as a gift for shortening the trip.

Trip not quite what I expected. Leaflet said pirate for a day, so was expecting crew dressed as such. It was just a sail up the coast. Itinerary said sail round islands, visit some caves in a zodiac then swim in bay with sands and crystal clear waters. Snacks provided. Whilst waiting for zodiac we had opportunity to go swimming. I didn't want to go until after zodiac but was on last trip. Though no worries as we were going on to dedicated swimming spot but no. Once zodiac runs done we sailed straight back to port! Also luckily took own food as no snacks were forthcoming.

On plus side, crew were friendly, sun was shining and I was on a boat at sea ( a favourite place to be)

Quite a long - and without any commentary - boat trip north along the coast and back again, before arriving at the viewpoint which is in fact only a few metres away from the boarding point in L'Estartit harbour. The crew tell you to descend one of two staircases to the underwater viewing gallery, where you can see a variety of pretty fish which are attracted by the crew providing food. My two-year-old grandson was mesmerised!

Took the 1.5 hours option which brought you up the coast a bit then turned and took you around the islands and stopped while you went down below to view the sea life from there.

Lovely views on the way out and that sea breeze was most welcome.

It’s fascinating when you go down below and watch what’s going on under the water. The water is crystal clear and there’s so much to see.

Crew were very pleasant and we were all glad we chose to come out on the boat. Would recommend

We expected more of the underwater experience. The trip first took us north along the coast, turned around and then towards the isles. Divided into two groups we had a 10-15 minute view under water. The fish came for the food that was thrown in the water.
The explanation was in Spanish, English and German.

I went with my family to do the tour with the Nautilus to have a good time. The treatment was very unpleasant, besides we did not see much nature either. When we were in the Medes Islands, they did not run over some bathers who came to threaten them to leave. The experience was very unpleasant and what had to be a morning to enjoy the sea and the views, ended up being a nightmare. I will never repeat it again.

3 of us went on the glass bottom Nautilus boat, we went on route 2 without the swimming. It is a 90 minute ride up the coast to see the caves and then to the isles Medes to see the coral and fish. It was highly enjoyable and would recommend :)

Went on a two hour cruise. Absolutely brilliant on the top deck or below watching the fish through the large glass windows my granddaughters were enthralled with it. What an excellent way to spend d the last day of our holiday
