Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great family trip around the Elba island. A lovely experience we took - 2 adults and 3 kids. Very insightful and interesting, staff were great and funny. Food was OK. Not to forget - we saw the dolphins :)

I loved the experience with Magic Princess. They are on time, their have a wide knowledge about the place, always making sure to be audible and understood when talking about the places. Many curious things I found out. Inside the boat sometimes they put nice music. They stopped enough time to have a swim. The hosts are kind and professional. Special thank you to Rosita who was always with a smile on her face.

The boat is so over crowded and even if you have a good spot to see you can not lay back and relax, which you would deffinatly want to do on a 6 hour boat ride. The food was horrible and they had no vegetarian options. When we asked they were so unbelievably rude about it. We ended up not eating and asked for some of our money back considering there was no food suitable for us. They said no in a very aggressive manor the mannager then came and was shouting at us in italian we could not understand what she was saying but she was pointing us to the door indicating for us to leave and kicked us off the boat. They are rude and disgusting people who have no hospitality. If you are thinking of going think again. This is the worst boat trip we have EVER been on.

6 hour boat trip around Elba. We asked the hotel if the boat trip was suitable for children (aged 6,9) we were told yes. The boat was very crowded and two families asked for their money back and left the boat.
We have been on many boat trips over 40, and this was by far the worst, we were to far from the beaches to even see the shore. We stopped three times, lunch and swim for 40 minutes and twice for a swim 20 minutes. The rest of the time we were on the boat. The boat stopped for the swim in very deep water with strong currents. Be careful if you are doing this strip with young children who are not confident in water.

We loved our afternoon trip on Magic Princess! My children (12 and 7) and I loved seeing the beautiful coastline from Marina di Campo to Fetovaia. The captain is capable, informative and fun. We loved seeing the grottoes and goats! Our highlight was swimming in the sea in front of the Fetovaia beach: water is clear and lovely. The boat has a great deck for jumping into the water, the ladders are easy to climb back up and the crew puts out a safety ring for anyone who wants to feel more secure. We highly recommend it!

Very nice trip, nice people, beautiful view. It's a little bit too long especially for children, but still it was worth it.

Whole family of 4 went to this full 6 h cruise around island Elba.
where to start ... 35€ for adults and half price for kids. Trip started 30 mins late.
Come at least 45mins before the assigned departure time if you would like to be on the boat. Reservation over the phone is definitely an advantage. Boat can take around 100 ppl.
We have been driving through wavy see, 50%+ prople on board got seascick. No one was standing after 2h. It was disaster.
My advice is to take those famous (against the sea sick ) pills with you because we really had hard time not to trow up.
You never know how the weather will be.
From that point of view it was really really horrible.
Bring some water with you. Coffee costs 1€ per cup but you can take 2 or 4 cups. No less.
Sights and stops were nice and ok, 3 stops with swimining in the sea somewhere close to shore.
Lunch? Yes it was kind of inlcuded but dont expect much. We got water and tomato salat with bread. I think this was a bit to thin for price.
Was it worth: Yes. But sea sick was terrible.

Non sapendo nuotare, si può evitare di scendere durante le soste e rimanere nella barca?

buongiorno, le soste per fare il bagno sono in acqua profonda ? , non sapendo nuotare ho paura di non sfruttare al meglio la gita.
Grazie

Sì, nel giro che ho fatto io le soste erano in acqua profonda. Comunque a bordo ci sono a disposizione dei giubbotti salvagente per chi non sa nuotare (quando sono andato io erano 2 se non erro) e la mia fidanzata che non sa nuotare ha indossato quello e ha fatto il bagno tranquillamente anche se l'acqua era profonda.

Buongiorno, settimana prossima sarò in vacanza all'Isola d'Elba, quale delle 3 gite mi consigliate? Poi volevo sapere se si fermano più di una volta per il bagno o se fanno sosta nelle grotte sempre pr il bagno. Grazie.

Personalmente ho fatto la gita a sud-est dell'isola e la consiglio vivamente. Ci sono 2/3 soste per il bagno.
