We have just returned from a 3 hour morning boat trip with Alan at Black Lizard Boat Tours. Our 9 and 12 year old had a blast, as did we. It was unfortunate that we weren't able to get to the island to see the lizards, but we were happy to go with Alan's expertise and experience about the sea being too choppy. We didn't feel that we missed out though as we got to see and swim in quiet bays, snorkel in clear turquoise waters and saw 2 resident falcons. Alan stopped and told us about the villages and beaches on the south east of menorca.
The ride back was a thrill thanks to the choppy sea today...but our boys loved it and we felt in capable hands with Alan as our skipper.
Booking was easy using WhatsApp and Alan was super responsive after contacting him at 930pm and being booked on the following morning after he advised the weather would be less favourable on the following days.
Our 12 year old said it was ine of the best things we've ever done on any holiday and our 9 year old said the pool is now only his second favourite thing about our holiday (and that is a ringing endorsement!).
Such a good morning and we would definitely recommend and do it all again if we are ever back in Menorca.

Thank you very much for coming family even knowing the weather might not be as good as we expected. We had a really nice morning through the little coves and calas I'm really glad that you enjoyed it so much and hope to show you the island of the air to see the black lizards next time you visit Menorca!
Take care,
Alan

We had an amazing time on a 9.30 am boat trip with Alan. We visited a tiny beach, caves and the black lizards. We were able to snorkel and saw lots of fish. We were able to jump in from the boat and meet the black lizards on the island with the lighthouse. We loved the little touches like drinks when we finished snorkelling on the island. There were 8 of us and Alan accommodated us even though originally he had no space. We used the number on the leaflet and booked using Wats App, this was really easy to do. We were able to walk to the boat from our hotel in Punta Prima which took 20mins.
If you want to go on the sunset boat tour I suggest that you book as soon as you arrive or before you get here.
Would highly recommend, this was a fantastic morning that our whole group enjoyed.

Amazing experience even if you aren’t a lizard lover- you probably will be when you leave the island!
My son and I loved it, it was the perfect end to our holiday. Alan fitted us in last minute after I noticed a sign when walking and I’m so glad he did.

We just returned from a totally fab trip this morning! Alan took us to some beautiful places - I’m told the water was amazing for snorkelling. I don’t swim but really loved the scenery and enjoyed our visit to Isla Aire to see the black lizards. Great boat, super value. Very easy to book the trip and to find the departure place. This trip is now going to be a new addition to our Menorca holiday routine!!!

Tried booking and just got poor experience and bad attitude. Not open at expected times and when booked using the number on their board I was told that was a different part of their business so when we turned up there was no boats left and a wanted trip getting ready, wouldn't recommend. Not too helpful.

Dear Andrea,

In July and August we get many calls, e-mails and whatsapp daily from a lot of people. You contacted us by e-mail, calling and also in whatsapp and we always replied to you trying our best and giving you all the options we had.

At the end no one of the days we offered you was ok for you. You thought you had finished the booking and you didn't as we finally didn't confirm to you the trip and then you turned in the morning on the wrong place.

If we had finished your booking we would have made for sure you to get on the right departure point as we have been doing with all our happy customers over the past 5 years.

I'm really sorry for all the inconvenience but I think we replied and attended you in the best way always. And there's always one mistake when you are replying hundreds of calls and emails every day.

We are a small company always being familiar and very close to our customers. If you go in a trip with us I'm sure you will have one of the best days in your holidays and I hope you can come back one day and we will make sure you get on the trip.

Thank you Andrea and have a nice summer!

Alan
