We love what we do, Your feedback means everything
Posted on Google Beckie WebbeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely wonderful trip. Greg's passion for the sea is so infectious. He was so approachable and knowledgeable and made you feel very at ease. Especially children who were not very confident in deep water. The rest of the team were great, the boat was clean and you didn't feel rushed at all with loads of time to swim as well as small guided snorkel trips to parts of the bay too. All in all an absolute must if you love a very chilled boat trip with loads of swimming. Thank you for a great day xPosted on Google Madalina BugariuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing day on the boat near Conejera island. This can be reached only by boat and it seems it is part of a Natural Park due to its high ecological value (we have been told by Greg, the host, that it is also called the rabbit island but no rabbits were ever found there lol :) ). It was an excellent experience for both my son and I as the whole team was so kind and friendly and they made us feel comfortable and gave us a familiar vibe. My son was so confident and asked to be in the first round of snorkellers. He asked so many questions and was amazed how it feels when you hold a sea urchin, a sea sponge or a sea cucumber in your hand. We have seen also a starfish, jellyfishes, green pacedonia, anemona and learnt how the octopuses are building their little rock houses. My son got a shell from one octopus abandoned house and he was over the clouds with pride, he took it back home and he has it in his room. He told all his friends about this experience. We will definitely cherish the memories of this trip forever and we want to thank the whole team at Meet the Sea for an amazing day, filled with joy and happiness. You made us both feel so good. Greetings to Elizabeth, we were having a great time together ❤️ I would highly recommend this trip to everyone and I hope we will meet you again in future.Posted on Google John HardimanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family of 4 with two girls 11 and 13 who have done a fair amount of snorkeling decided to go on this trip, I was concerned it might be aimed at younger children but my wife was keen for us to go. How wrong was I, we all learnt so much and it has given us a new level of confidence, understanding and capability to spot creatures. I enjoyed it as much as the kids did! Greg the guide is so passionate, kind, caring and consienscious, before he was half way though his briefing I was hooked in, he so dearly wants everyone to enjoy the experience, particularly children. He wants everyone to want to protect the sea and the environment, but in a refreshing and unique way. He doesn't push the environmental message in the way we are used to by preaching about what we should or shouldn't do, he just wants us all to understand the ocean, wants us to find out more and hopes that we will then want to protect it. I really think his approach will inspire people to do that, I hope he will inspire others to offer the same experience in other holiday locations so more people will gain similar experiences. This was by far the best experience we have had of an "excursion" boat trip or the like while on holiday. The way it works is about half an hour heading to a nature reserve, Greg briefs everyone on the way there. He then takes in small groups of up to 12 for a guided snorkel, he picks up from our experience sea cucumber, urchins, sea grass, jellyfish and gives everyone opportunity to hold them and shares so much information in a short time. He also showed us jellyfish gardens so we could understand how to have a better chance of spotting the elusive wonders! Theres also paddle boards available to paddle about on while other groups are on the tour, you can continue to snorkel you can chill on the boat and enjoy the paella the crew makes. Towards the end one of the crew became a pirate and the kids enjoyed treasure hunt which was a sweet end to the trip. I haven't done justice to the genuine kindness and passion of Greg he's really humbling. His crew (which includes his mum, how wonderful is it that they work together) reflect this too. The number on the boat could be way larger and he could be making way more money out of it but it's clear he cares about quality, the first day we had booked for was a bit choppy so he was hugely apologetic and postponed the trip. I wish I could return and spend more time learning he's clearly hugely knowledgeable from years at sea and just such a joy to be around. Worth every penny.Posted on Google Carly AshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our second time with Meet the Sea and it was even better than the first! Greg’s passion and knowledge about the ocean and its wildlife just keeps growing – he’s incredible with the children, educating them in such a fun and engaging way, and showing so much care and patience in introducing them to the water and everything in it. He took the time to gently guide my nervous son in, making him feel safe and confident – a moment I’ll never forget. The staff were all so friendly, and the delicious paella served on board was the perfect touch. Don’t hesitate to book – just go! You and your family will create memories on this trip that you’ll treasure forever.Posted on Google Franziska HeinrichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can highly recommend a boat trip with Meet the Sea. We participated in early July this year, and it was simply fantastic. We felt so comfortable, and the children really enjoyed it and had fun. I never thought my 7-year-old son would just jump into the open sea and swim alone with a mask and snorkel. But he loved it so much that he still talks about it. Especially the sea urchin that Greg showed us, which I even held in my hand. So fascinating! All the other children were snorkeling in the open sea as well. Greg and his team eased the children's fears, and everyone just felt comfortable. What I really liked was that we (parents and children) learned a lot about the sea and especially what is beneath the water's surface. The trip is recommended for children of all ages and, of course, for all adults as well. We will definitely come back. A big thank you to Greg and his amazing team.Posted on Google Mike ChurchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great experience. Went on the trip as a family of 4 with 2 boys (6 & 8) who were not confident with the sea at all. Greg's passion for the sea and working with kids really helped and by the end the boys took part in the half hour swim tour of the reef, where we even saw an octopus. If you visit ibiza this trip is an absolute must. Thanks to all the crew and the paella was amazing.Posted on Google Emma TerryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would highly recommend anyone to attend the Meet the Sea Boat Trip, hosted by Greg and his team. His hospitality was outstanding, taking his time to meet with everyone individually. I was amazed that he spent most of his time in the sea, taking out us out in smaller groups to snorkel and experience the sea. The food was delicious and his team were so friendly. Well worth every penny and more!Posted on Google Katja Müller-SohlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zum 2. Mal… noch besser als beim ersten Mal. So viel Liebe zum Job, zu Kindern und Menschen gibt es heute nur noch selten. Großes Kompliment und Dankeschön
