The 5 Sailing Bus Tours Travellers Rate Highest

1.Hop-On Hop-Off Bus with Sailing Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 412 reviews · from $49Our pick

Use one ticket on Barcelona City Tour’s orange West route and green East route, then take a one-hour coastal catamaran from Port Vell toward Port Olímpic. You can board at any bus stop, listen to multilingual audio, and use the 24 or 48-hour pass at your own pace.

“The only problem were the times on the email sent to us for the catamaran were incorrect. We got to the port for 11.00 in order to get the 11.30 sailing only to be told that the first sailing was at 1.00 🤔”

2.From Valetta: Catamaran Tour with Hop-On, Hop-Off Gozo Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 132 reviews · 1 day · from $35Best value

Travel from Valletta to Gozo by fast catamaran, then tour the island on an open-top green-route bus. You will see coastal views, villages, Victoria, Dwejra Bay, ancient sites, and fishing communities, with time to hop off at selected stops.

“Sjovt at se Gozo fra oven. Selve busturen var den største oplevelse, da kørslen var meget spændende og vi blev kastet lidt rundt. Et stop på nordsiden af Gozo aflyst - angiveligt grundet “road-construction”. Færgeturen hjem var en udfordring da de påstod vi kunne havde en enkeltbillet. Retur delen af færgeturen stod kun på dansk - så det var kun grundet virkelig intens insisteren at vi kom hjem uden ekstra pris. Den del var lidt utjekket.”

3.Korčula 3 ISLAND CATAMARAN TOUR Badija – Vrnik – Stupe

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 104 reviews · 5h 30m · from $70

Spend 330 minutes cruising from Korčula to Badija, Vrnik, and Stupe with an English-speaking skipper. Swim and snorkel with provided gear, walk to Badija’s Franciscan Monastery, see Vrnik’s old stone quarries, and relax at Moro Beach on Stupe. Bring sun protection, water shoes, and money for food.

“Première île visitée belle randonnée autour de l’île 2 ieme balade assez limitée et rien d’ouvert pour déjeuner et baignade,par contre dernière île piège à touristes non averti directement et sans autre possibilité un resto plutôt cool mais hors de prix pour l’endroit. Rien d’autre à faire que d’attendre au soleil 35degres le retour du bateau , aucune empathie du restaurateur pour nous mettre à l’abri si on ne consommait pas. On comprend que les affaires sont difficiles mais stratégie commerciale très mauvaise à mon avis on doit pouvoir satisfaire toutes les bourses,tout les clients surtout quand ils ne sont pas nombreux !!”

“I enjoyed riding the bus loop, it was easy to find. Was very dissappointed there was no internet. The region is very mountainous, So we visited areas we would not have reached on foot.”

5.Discovering Isla Mujeres on a Double Decker Catamaran

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 12 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $79

Spend about seven hours cruising from Cancun to Isla Mujeres on a double-decker catamaran. You’ll snorkel near MUSA, eat at a beach club, visit Playa Norte, and enjoy an open bar. The $79 price is attractive, but add the $20 dock fee and confirm pickup details carefully.

“Trip was fun but communications very poor. Told wrong departure location so had to get a second taxi to correct marina. Crew nice but hour on Isla a peddlers swarm so not able to walk around and relax. Good sights while snorkeling”
