VIP 4-hour Black Sea catamaran from Sunny Beach with open bar, swim and snorkel gear, lunch on board, and a dolphin search.

“From communication agter booking to being picked up in the big red London bus, it was already an excellent start to the trip. the catamaran itself was spacious and although busy, didn't feel crowded. The staff on board were incredibly attentive and helpful- they made the trip! We enjoyed the trip out over the water and being in a 'splashnzone', then snorkelling in the sea. Being offered goggles, snorkels and pool noodles for our use with no extra cost. The inclusive food and drink was good quality and delicious. Our children even went back for seconds! The highlight had to be the dolphins swimming around the boat on the return…”

The bus turned up a few minutes early and the trip was well organised and ran smoothly. The guide, Souren, was friendly and entertaining. The trip itself was very enjoyable with enough free time to wander, clear information at each location and a good lunch. A very enjoyable day out.”
