Dolphin Sighting - Beautiful experience , I recommend bringing costume and towel because you can take a nice bath. On board you will find kindness, sympathy and a well-stocked bar

Beautiful experience - We went on a 3-hour “sunset” expedition, it was magical. The team is welcoming, we were able to enjoy the ocean and the view of the coast and even swim at the end of the trip. The dolphins were there, it was splendid!

Good walk - Although the weather is not so good to be able to see the sunset and also take a dive, at least we can see the dolphins

Dolphins and whales seen - Have seen dolphins and whales, have sailed the coast long and had a cool swim stop. Very relaxed ride for 35€. Tablets were used to explain which animals we see.

Great time! - I got to book this excursion very last minute and thankfully it did not disappoint. We got to see sperm and pilot whales but not dolphins but that’s ok. I was visiting from Miami therefore not seeing dolphins was not a total bust and they can’t control wildlife to say the least so please keep an open mind. If you’re looking for a nice scenic trip with friends/family I definitely recommend this catamaran excursion. The crew was very nice, knowledgeable and I loved how they stopped the catamaran to remove plastic/garbage from the ocean that we saw along the way. Give them a try! You won’t be disappointed :)

Nice experience - Cute trip on the coasts of the island. We were lucky and spotted two schools of pilot whales and one of dolphins. They then took us to swim despite it being October. I do not give 5 stars for the fact that the guides did not provide any kind of information, but overall a nice experience.
