A great trip. An excellent crew. Ella did a fantastic job as a tour guide. We really enjoyed the day.
We could enjoy a wonderful day on the ship. Our tour guide "Ella" ,speaking German, was wonderful, always with competence and a lot of fun with the thing. She made the trip a wonderful experience with the whole ship's crew. The food offered was excellent. For drinking you could take soft drinks whatever you wanted. With "Ella's" music we sailed back in the magnificent sunset. I can definitely recommend the day trip.
The whole day was fabulous! The boat is so gorgeous, the staff so friendly and helpful, the food was great. With this boat, you need to get on and off, in and out of long tail boats to reach the shore. If you have mobility issues, you may need to choose a different boat, but even so, the crew are lovely and helpful.
Just the madness the tour. The entire crew and especially Ella our guide are unbeatable. Friendly, helpful, funny and attentive are just a few ways to describe the crew. Although the weather wasn't so perfect in the meantime, that didn't hurt the trip a bit. The supply of food and drink was excellent! We can recommend the entire tour 100%.
There was no shade except for inside and down the back and a 3 hour trip resulted in a beach where we were invited to climb to a view in the heat of a scorching day. I expected a snorkel within a marine park but no it only offered 2 hikes up steep steps and a quick swim at the beach and also a jump off the boat on the way back. So many smokers on board and my allergies were kicking off! The only good thing was the food as the tour guides were in disagreement all day. It felt very chaotic with little structure and some language problems made it difficult to understand what we were expecting. If you smoke and drink and are happy sitting around hot most of the time it will be fine but no real swimming or snorkeling at all, and not a lot of shade in the boat !
Got on the boat 09.00 returned 20.15. Spent about three hours ashore and the rest of the time on board sailing with nothing to see. The most boring cruise I have ever been on. This is also the slowest boat I have ever been on. Literally saw one animal in the marine park - a bird. No snorkelling opportunities for a marine park. Getting ashore is hazardous - you first have to get on a cramped long tail boat and then get to the beach via a floating pontoon which is an absolute nightmare. For a marine park it’s strange that the long tail boats spew out diesel fumes. Strange they’re worried about sun cream and the coral but don’t care about the diesel. The stop to see the salt lake involves a really steep climb up some poorly maintained steps - more like climbing a ladder for 500m. Coming down is even worse. On the small beach is a smoking area ffs - it’s a marine park. In fairness the staff on the boat are lovely. There is plenty of food and free soft b drinks on offer. But the boat is tired and could do with updating. I definitely cannot recommend a trip on Red Baron. I always take a boat trip whenever I’m on holiday but this is definitely the most boring I’ve ever taken.
Staff and ship wonderful, stops on the day not good. Definitely only for able bodied people as you have to climb on and off the vessel each stop. NO SNORKLING which is disappointing. Stop 1 if you want to go to the viewpoint it's 500m uphill. In the words of our guide... It's a hike, or you stay on the beach. Stop 2 the Emerald Lagoon only accessible if you climb 150m up very dangerous stairs, if not stay on the very overcrowded small beach with Diesel fumes for an hour. Trip is definitely not explained very well and I'd struggle to recommend this trip to anyone.
We had a great day out with Ella and the crew. Looked after so well. Breakfast, Lunch and Snacks before leaving the boat. Soft drinks all day. Staff worked hard, but always had a smile. Thanks so much
We really enjoyed the day on the Red Baron. The crew was very friendly we the food was awesome. Ela, who accompanied the tour, is very friendly, takes care of all guests and is fun on the road. We would book this trip again and again. Thank you
One of our most beautiful tours we did super great crew especially the Ela was mega friendly and absolutely warm again THANKS TO ALL
