Is the excursion suitable for families with babies and young children? And for passengers with reduced mobility?
This excursion is perfect for families. Cala Galdana beach is very safe, with lifeguard services, shaded areas and shallow waters, as well as a wide range of beach bars, restaurants and cafés.
You may bring a stroller on board if you wish, but we recommend leaving it behind, as access paths can be difficult for strollers.
We have a boarding ramp that allows access to the pier without getting your feet wet.
Access from the Cala Galdana pier is somewhat steep, so we ask passengers to proceed with caution.
If you have reduced mobility, you will be able to board first, but please make sure to inform us at the time of booking. Wheelchairs cannot be taken on board; you will need to board under your own power, but our crew will be happy to assist you as much as possible.
What is the cancellation policy or what happens in case of bad weather?
All our excursions are subject to weather conditions and the captain’s discretion, who may adapt the route to provide the best possible experience.
Our cancellation policy is one of the most flexible in the sector:
- Free cancellation or date change up to 24 hours before departure.
- Free cancellation or date change if we cancel due to weather conditions.
- Free cancellation or date change if we operate the excursion in uncomfortable weather conditions.
Your safety is our number one priority, but we know that sometimes weather conditions can be a bit challenging. If you are prone to seasickness and the captain issues a weather advisory (light swell, scattered showers, etc.), you will have the option to change the date or cancel free of charge before departure.
If you have any doubts about the forecast, don’t hesitate to contact us. We can advise you on which weather conditions may affect the excursion and which won’t. For example, even on windy days, a north wind (NW, N, NE) is ideal on the south coast as it calms and “cleans” the sea.
Our goal is for you to have the best possible experience, and we know weather plays an important role. That’s why we’ve created one of the most flexible cancellation policies available—so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
That said, we’re not quite as flexible with late arrivals! If you don’t arrive on time (no later than 5 mi
