Great trip to see the dolphins. - Great trip with plenty of dolphins to see and enjoy as they swam playfully around the boat. Very comfortable catamaran with WC. The crew were very friendly and informative about the dolphins. Refreshments are also available.

Fantastic experience - Great trip, really amazing team and we had about 45 minutes watching and following the majestic dolphins. Our two grandchildren 5&7 loved it! The water slide in the bay towards the end was also a good giggle. Thank you so much.

Wonderful and memorable boat trip - Weather was perfect for the trip. We saw many, many dolphins then turned back to find a place to jump or slide into the ocean. The water was bracing but tolerable and we had a lot of fun. All the teens had a screen free morning. The fruit and cookies were delicious, too! Highly recommended and would do it again we were in the area.

Worth the money. - What an amazing experience the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, very honest stating that you may or may not see dolphins and we was lucky enough to see many dolphins also saw a minky whale and alot of birds which I love, diving gannets. I cannot praise this trip enough well worth £41 of anyone's money. Thankyou from us.

Great experience - Great experience. Went in April, but enough dolphins seen. The dolphins were treated with respect. They were not chased, but came to the boat themselves. Nice staff, who could tell a lot. It was still a bit cold to swim, but the roll out of the slide made sure we took a dip anyway. 7-year-old daughter loved it all too. Boat is spacious and well maintained. I can't think of anything that wasn't right. would go right back!

Wonderful trip - Meeting place details need updating- didn’t see “Captains Nest” which was where we were supposed to meet. Other than that this was a great trip. Very friendly & helpful staff, speaking good English. Lead guide had some very interesting information about the dolphins. We saw a group of at least 10. We followed them at a distance & they also kept coming back to us. Lead guide said they monitor closely the dolphins manner & look for signs of aggression or avoidance. They swam very close to the boat & certainly weren’t avoiding us. It was a windy & drizzly day, but the captain found a sheltered area for us to use a slide off the boat & swim. We also saw interesting caves. We had a snack of a fruit kebab and a cookie which was just enough. Drinks were available to buy. I would definitely recommend this trip

Relaxing trip at sea in search of dolphins - At the gate in the harbor, everyone was welcomed and then escorted to the boat. A welcome chat followed and we left. We were lucky that the weather was very nice and wind force 1 so the sea was very flat. The boat sailed at considerable speed at considerable distance from the coast, but with a view of the coastline. After more than an hour, a large group of dolphins was spotted and 1 shark. We were allowed to enjoy that for a very long time (compared to previous boat trips in other places) and got a lot of useful explanations about these animals. When the captain indicated that it was time to sail back, the catamaran turned and sailed a bit close along the coastline so that we had a nice view of that too. Then anchored and allowed to swim. An inflatable slide was even set up. As a keen snorkeler I was very much looking forward to the swimming area, but the water was so murky everywhere, even closer to the rocks that there was barely 50 cm visibility and because there were so many small tour boats sailing up and down the coastline it didn't feel safe to snorkel or swim at that place. Even in late season, the total coastline is extremely busy, but of course the tour operator cannot do anything about that either. Had a very nice, fun trip. Very friendly people and a neat, practical catamaran.
