disappointing, the only good part was a good music and food was ok. other than that, we stopped only in one place instead of two stops, there was no life jackets nor noodles for staying long in the water snorkling equipments were not good , there was nothing to see anyway. I just think they are too busy and don't care about qua
lity of excursion service and staffs were good, it is just not well put together excurions , boat is very old but beautifully designed and moves a lot, you can get sea sick pretty fast.

Was in Mallorca for one day on a cruise ship with Family of 4, this was the best excursion, is 10 minutes from the cruise terminal by taxi or shuttle the departure and return on time , we had the most wonderful time.

This would probably had been better if I didn't go solo. But, the music was very good and the staff was nice. I saw some beautiful views around the island. The food was just okay. I'm actually surprised that no one fell down the steep stairs as many were intoxicated and the boat was really rocking at times. It was difficult enough using them sober. I didn't go in the water but many did, jumping from the top of the boat, and seemed to have fun. The water was clear. Everyone seemed to have a great time!

Cruise to swim spot, watching folks jump off boat. Food and drinks were good. Would recommend. Did not receive or get info on photo taken upon boarding. Would love to get photo

Fantastic trip, brilliant snorkeling and lovely lunch. Not many on board. Some young boys which was a surprise but OK.

The wind was blowing so rough ride out and only did one spot. The crew was fun and got the party started

The whole tour was great, the staff, the food and everything about the tour. Our family had a great time! Would definitely recommend this tour!

4h cruise with music, drinks, sun, sea, some swimming and lunch. Party with DJ on the way back on lower deck.

Had a great time. Food was perfect, sangria plentiful and music brilliant! Definitely recommend. Such a relaxing trip.

Nice journey. Nice DJ set, we enjoyed the music. The launch was also really good.
Definitely worth it's price!
During the second stop, we thought that it was only for swimming and were waiting for some info on the bottom deck at the same time on the top deck team was serving lunch. It confused us a bit.
Please make announcements at each stop.

Absolutely brilliant experience! Went out on the 14.30 trip, an hour out to the paradise swimming location, lovely bit of food and then back in. Great music and experience. Recommended. Thanks

This was one of my best experiences in Palma. The vibe is amazing, fun, friendly. The crew will take care of you and make you feel so welcomed. The view is something else, so beautiful. I absolutely recommend this tour 🥰 Thank you Liberto, Sergi, Sabina and everyone !

Great environment. Amazing and friendly crew. Great locations, food options and music. Would definitely do it again.

We had a fantastic 4 hours on this trip. We did the 10am departure, everyone was onboard at 9:45 and we set sail just before 10.
Stopped at 2 snorkeling / swimming spots for 45mins, where you could jump off the boat.
Lunch was delicious, freah chicken and pork with salad, vegetables and rice, potatoes.
Great vibe onboard with the live music and disco on the way back after everyone had had a few beers / sangria's!
Would recommend.
Mix of ages onboard, from families with teenagers, to groups in their 30s / 40s / 50s.
Gloria_M, Aug 2023
Great vibes! Everyone was so friendly and the staff was super attentive. It was a great experience and they took lovely pictures of us which they posted for free on their Facebook. I would recommend to anyone that enjoys the sun or simply wants a day out at sea with with family/ friends.

Had a super day out on the barca Samba, music was great loved the food and the views from the boat were amazing, we even jumped off the side of the top deck into the sea, staff great and the photographer worked really hard too, would definitely do again, much appreciated

Had an amazing time!. It was very festive, staff are extremely friendly and jovial 😁. The entertainment was great. Awesome music and a lot of dancing.
The food served was very tasty and fresh. An array of vegetable dishes suited for vegetarians and vegans, with pork and chicken. The pork was delicious. Finished off with watermelon.
You get a free drink from the food, everything else you need to pay for. I did find €2 for a 500 ml water to be a bit expensive. And €11 for cocktails..
On this particular trip, unfortunately we were delayed by the departure of a massive cargo ship which delayed and we were unable to do a second stop.
They offer snorkelling masks, however, the distance from the shore was too great and not ideal for this. But jumping into the water was tremendous fun. 😁
They had a photographer on board which was really good.
I definitely recommend Barca Samba.

I love everything!!! I really enjoyed!! It was a good experience in my life!! I recommend this to my friends
Alessia_P, Jul 2023
The best experience in Mallorca, I went with my best friend and we had the best time. We made new friendships and all the workers we gentle and funny, good music and food. Definitely something I would do again, I recommend it if you are a group of friend and want to do something different.
Steve_P, Jun 2023
We had a great time. It’s definitely a party atmosphere and not for someone looking for a quiet cruise. The staff was a hoot and very welcoming. Lots of fun and the lunch was delicious!
David_F, Jun 2023
The Barca Samba was incredible. We were a Stag Do of 10 lads. It was perfect. Not too many people, but enough for a great atmosphere. The music was bang on! There is a great sound system on board with a DJ. Everyone was dancing for the majority of the trip. The staff were super friendly, plus the food was really nice. I highly recommend this boat trip for any lively group!
Bethany_T, Jun 2023
Excellent day! Boat was clean and well kempt. Staff were friendly and experienced. The food was better than expected, views of Palma were amazing and the place we docked for swimming was beautiful. Great atmosphere on board, and great value for money.
Charity_R, Jun 2023
Was a nice experience only down side was the weather. Rained a lot and was slippery. Hazard on stairs. The food was nice, very tasty. Staff were very welcoming.
Robert_G, May 2023
This was one of the most lively boat excursions I’ve had; it topped the ones in Greece and Hawaii. The size of the boat, music and quality food and drink were on the mark.

We were celebrating our 40th birthdays so we’re looking for a fun trip, with dancing, cool music and a tasty lunch!
We got all of those things! Drinks and chill out upstairs and dance party downstairs!
Carolyn_W, May 2023
I went on my own but didnt feel alone, staff excellent , encouraging me to dance etc. Lots of fun !!
Ryan_F, May 2023
Very good. Value for money. The best experience. Would be good if they played DJ music on the top deck.
Joan_B, May 2023
Great time. Crew friendly. Food excellent. Made many friends from many countries. Definitely a good trip.
