At the yellow ticket counter, no one knew what to do with our visitor voucher. After the third person appeared, they simply gave us the tickets, and the taxi boat departed 20 minutes early. The boat itself was covered, and everyone had enough space. The island itself is worth a visit. Historic old town, beautiful beaches with crystal clear water. Excellent food from freshly caught seafood. Many restaurants and very attentive staff.
Very good experience do not hesitate to use this service from santa pola.transport cheap fast and efficient possibility to book the return if you stay QQS days on site tickets valid for one month personal helpful and attentive
I personally didn't like the ride, in the sense that I couldn't see anything of the trip. The transparent canvas around it was closed, which was difficult to see through. The staff were businesslike and very loud with each other. Afterwards, I would have preferred to be on the bigger boat where you had a view. I didn't see that option through Tripadvisor. Returning was extremely busy. But I think you can expect that on every boat to this island.
Lovely 30-minute trip
This is the smoothest boat to get to and from Tabarca. Other passangers going on other companies hade to wait in line. The boat is also very fast
Fantastic service, went out of their way to accommodate our families needs, would definitely recommend.
Ride had arrived great in 15 minutes. Island beautiful water nice for snorkeling. It was a nice day. We got back at 2pm and had dinner at the port.
It went very well, they were very punctual, we wanted to come back sooner, I called them, and we could change the time, I have no complaint
Best and fastest crossing with the yellow speed boat amazing service don't get pulled into the other big taxi ferries company's unless to want a glass bottom trip we did book for a return time of 4.pm but we're done buy 1.30 so cought the next boat back you do have to book return time as they get busy on return journey as the locals use this yellow boat daily to and from work on the island great day out no need to book through any travel agent easy to do all by yourself nice day out as it wasn't too busy early and this time of year
Do not go through this site because the Award directly on site is much cheaper!! Book through TripAdvisor cost us 5euros + per person!! Inadmissible
