Dolphins! - A really lovely boat and a friendly crew. I went twice because I loved it so much the first time. The first time we encountered tested many dolphins and they really interacted with us. The boat was very busy this time and it was a bit of a cram to see the dolphins at the edges. The second day was slightly more windy. No dolphins came but I still enjoyed it. The only downside is it’s a bit hard to get to from Malaga if you don’t have a car. The first time I took a bus but two scheduled buses didn’t turn up so I was glad I left loads of time. The second time I took the train and walked down (about 23 mins) to the marina.

Beautiful day and a wonderful cruise! - Beautiful day on a lovely boat in a beautiful sea!! We very much enjoyed the trip! The sea was choppy and we were so happy to know in advance so we could take medicine, so no one was sick. The boat was clean and stocked, the crew was attentive and very helpful, and very nice! we didnt see dolphins, but there’s nothing the ship had control over, they searched the seas the entire voyage with binoculars. They gave a very generous offer for a repeat trip with no expiration date for 50% off! They totally don’t have to do that!! we enjoyed the day on a boat, with beautiful weather and good company. Thank you!!

Great experience - We done the dolphin trip on 31 Oct.Ha e to say,the crew were excellent,friendly and knowledgeable.It took quite a time to find the dolphins,but fair play to the crew,they tried everything to find them and we eventually found them.When we found them,the captain was very respectful of their environment,and slowed right down and kept a safe distance.The dolphins were becoming more confident and starting to come closer,until somebody in a speedboat was speeding to them and scared them off.Fair play to the crew,our 1.5 hr trip turned into nearly 2 hrs,as they didnt clockwatch,once the dolphins were spotted.Thoroughly recommend and definatley will do again,if back in Benalmadena

It was an incredibly... - It was an incredibly wonderful and unforgettable day! Not long after the cruise set sail, we saw adorable dolphins. Several of them swam and played around the ship the whole time. This trip was absolutely worth it!
