    Not recommended The boat is old and isn't in good conditions. We were left at the pier to walk to the beach when we explicitly said we would like to stay on board and take swims while anchored, just as ALL the other boats. At Balos the boat broke down - once again we were the only boat a the pier and had to walk to the beach. We had to wait for it to be fixed with a 1 year old on board- quite irresponsible Dont waste your money on this experience. It ended up being the exact same (or even worse) than taking the ferry. Go for another company or save money and go by ferry.
