Out of season so options were limited. The staff issuing tickets was marvelous explained everything clearly. €15.00 per person. 25 minutes approximately each way.

After booking, it was unclear how to download tickets, but it turned out that you could pick up tickets on the spot at the yellow kiosk at the port. nice outing. Many restaurants on the island. WARM weather is necessary for swimming because of the wind that otherwise makes it very chilly. On our day it was 25 degrees but no swimming.

Reservation was at 1 p.m. but there was still enough room so we could take a boat earlier. Super friendly lady at the counter. The ride took a little longer every now and then due to strong headwinds, which made it quite a bumpy ride that all 4 of us enjoyed. The return journey also went smoothly. Definitely recommended and plenty of time to explore the island, snorkel and enjoy a nice meal.

Everything went well, we wanted to return from the island earlier than indicated on the ticket, we just had to call to find out when we could return and they were super helpful, there was no problem ☺️

The island with multiple alternatives is to be enjoyed, the transfer is fun and not long, many gastronomic options on the island and not at all expensive, without a doubt to go more than once

High waves on the way out but they slowed down and made it a pleasant crossing anyway. Friendly reception. Fantastic little island with an exciting past. Nice beaches, a large sandy beach and a smaller pebble beach. Good snorkeling. Smooth booking and handling. No queues, then we went in high season.

Fast water taxi to Tabarca, no more, no less. Return route somewhat unclear in terms of collecting. The lady in charge didn't speak a word of English and asked several times nombro nombro? We gave our cards and didn't understand what she meant. Then she got annoyed and we were able to move on without answering her question.
