What to expect

Many places that trade on their pirate past, but few can actually match Tunisia's authentic heritage in this department. Now you can immerse yourself in this swashbuckling world with a half-day at sea aboard a replica pirate galley, with snacks and water included.

Your adventure begins the moment we sail from Sousse harbour into the Mediterranean, just as the Barbary pirates did for centuries. But while they struck fear into European coastal communities as far afield as Iceland, we'll be going out to have wholehearted fun. Lots of fun.

When you've worked up the appetite, snacks to munch on will be served, alongside water. As a fun morning for the whole family, this pirate adventure in a replica Barbary galley is hard to beat.

    Fantastic experience! We were lucky enough to see dolphins. There were dances, shows, swimming in the open sea. In a word, it was really fun! Recommend:)

    Sold the trip by our rep stating that all drinks and food were included but we were charged 5 Dina’s for any drink. We were told it would be a bar b q but we were given a small plate with a tiny bit of meat, some spicy spaghetti, chopped tomatoes and a piece of bread. We were told by our rep that the boat would be TUI guests only but it wasn’t and it was overcrowded . Finally my son (6)was fitted with a life jacket so that we could swim in the sea but as soon as he was in the water it came open.

    Boat was over crowded, not enough seats for everyone on board so had to stand for over 2 hours. Was taken to area full of jellyfish to do the swimming at. Entertainment was poor. Only given 1 small cup of water to drink during the time on board.

    Brilliant fun and brilliant trip - thoroughly recommend this! Only improvement would be more time/a second stop to jump in and swim in the sea.

    Had to wait over an hour for another coach load of people. Tried to charge us for water while we waited. Food bland, entertainment not great. Thought boat trip was for 2 and half hours turned out it was an hour and 45 minutes. Staff only interested in selling you drinks and head scarfs.

Tunisian Sahara two-day film set tour from Sousse
Excursions & day trips

Tunisian Sahara two-day film set tour from Sousse

The desert sands of Tunisia are sprinkled with Hollywood stardust. This two-day tour takes you to some of the country's top filming locations. You'll visit ancient Roman ruins and underground houses, cross a vast salt lake and spend the night in an oasis on the fringes of the Sahara. Hamdi, one of our expert local guides, says, “In Matmata, a cave village where the houses are hollowed out of the rock, the sandstone is soft enough to dig deep pits, and then carve out caves around the edge to form underground rooms. Each room opens onto the base of the pit, which becomes a central courtyard.”Begin your desert adventure at El Jem Colosseum. This ancient Roman stadium used to seat 35,000 spectators, entertained by gladiatorial fights and chariot races. After your cultural fix, head to Matmata, for lunch and a visit to the rock-cut cave homes that starred in the Star Wars films. Finish the day in your very own oasis for an overnight stay in Douz, the ‘Gateway to the Sahara'.In the morning, you'll cross Chott el Djerid, a rust-washed salt lake, before hopping into a 4x4 for a ride to Onk Jemal. Here, you'll explore a film set city built exclusively for Star Wars. After stopping for a Tunisian lunch at Gafsa, you'll round off the tour with a photo stop at historic Kairouan. You won't be able to resist taking lots of pics of the richly decorative mosques that give the town an abundance of character.
