Do it ! - We loved the trip. The boat was just the right size to not get lost in a crowd- brilliant sound system also ! The caves are special with beautiful scenery. The crew then went out of their way (literally) to give us the best chance to find dolphins- and we did ! Would recommend.

A trip we will cherish forever! - An experience we will cherish forever!
From start to finish Oceaneye delivered! The whole experience was amazing! My children (age 10 and 13) thoroughly enjoyed it. The caves and rock formations were amazing and you got a bit of history about them from the guide. We had the opportunity to have swim half way through (I’m not a fan of the open water) but felt safe and comfortable enough to be able to jump in and I’m so glad I did and my kids and husband were delighted I joined them. The boat is fast and can get a bit chilly out in open water so take towels to wrap round you. You are not guaranteed to see the dolphins and heading back there were none in sight, until last minute we got a call from another boat to give us their location and OMG it was just the cherry on the cake. Before we saw the dolphins I said to my husband it was still 100% worth the tour just to see the coastlines and caves. Thank you so much oceaneye for making magical memories for us! Can I also add oceaneye is not a big corporate company like the other boat cruises. They only have the one boat and they go above and beyond for you!

Oceaneye are small company that offer a big experience. - This was an amazing experience, and seeing the Dolphins with no guarantees was the icing on the cake. The tour provider staff were very informative, bilingual, and an all-around pleasure and on our way back to the marina we were given the option of having a swim before being thrown around for an exhilarating end to the trip. Highly recommended and worthy of a higher rating, thanks Oceaneye 👌🏽

Extraordinary ride - A great team from start to finish, a top guide who speaks a lot of languages to adapt to his passengers.
The visit is very nice to do with very nice views and bonus dolphins 🐬.
We recommend this company with our eyes closed.
You will not regret.
