This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 food & drink tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
From Zadar’s Jazine harbor, a small group of up to nine rides to Ošljak, Preko, Galevac, and Kali. Guides such as Iva, Josip, Toni, Sabrina, Luka, and Dominik combine island history, swimming, snorkeling, and a family-run tasting of seafood, olive oil, and wine.
“Our guide Josip was informative and provided excellent services.”
Spend about 10 hours touring Phi Phi, Maya Bay, Pileh Bay, Monkey Beach, and Koh Khai by speedboat. You get hotel pickup, breakfast, halal buffet lunch, drinks, fruit, snorkeling gear, and an English-speaking guide. Guides such as Tik, Nun, Bao, and Lily have been praised for clear, lively hosting.
“Overcrowded boat, weather conditions were terrible but that is not fault of tour group. Phi phi island & other areas were overcrowded & dirty. Food was average at best.”
Meet at Urcabar in Urca at 10:00 am for a shared speedboat trip toward the Cagarras Islands. Expect Rio views from the water, time to swim, inflatable floats, and cold beer, water, and soda. Captains such as Antonio and Ricardo have led outings, though commentary and route details can vary.
“The boat trip was relaxing, informative, and quite pleasant. Our skipper, Ricardo, was great. He had the right balance of telling us what we were looking at, and staying quiet so we could enjoy the ride. I saw no info that indicated we could swim from the boat if we wore a suit, so we were unprepared. (Not a big problem as we're not big swimmers; just a point for other travelers.) I was amused that the beer we were offered was Budweiser. As an American, it made me laugh because I expected a local brew. We enjoyed the ride, and the unique perspective of Rio from the water.”
Board at Urca Pier for a three-hour speedboat tour past Sugarloaf, Copacabana, Arpoador, Niterói, and more. Your guide may be Rafael, praised for careful driving and local insight. Beer, soda, and water are included, with stops for swimming and underwater viewing.
“Rafael es encantador! La excursión fue genial y dinámica. La pasamos increíble”
Every kind of fast boat on the site, and the water it runs on.
