Excellent, highly recommended - This was an excellent afternoon with our skipper and guide, Liliana and Monica. We saw sperm whales, pilot whales and spotted dolphins. Very knowledgeable and careful around the whales and dolphins. I would highly recommend, Liliana and Monica wanted to give us the best experience. Thank you

Perfect - Everything was perfect. The crew was absolutely accurate during all the sailing. We saw a large number of dolphins and a whale species (capodoglio), recommend the group!

Excellent whale watching tour - Great crew and saw whales and played with dolphins that followed the boat. small boat that allowed easy viewing. Very good info. Not much of a briefing beforehand.

Do it - Just fantastic, this is my 5th whale watching and this is probably my favorite. Unfortunately not a lot of whale as the sea was bad but the zodiac was really making it a lot of fun. You need to do it. Just some advices, you will be wet so take a lot of change clothes with you. But it is really fun

Overall good experience - Trip was nice, unfortunately no whales encountered, hence 4/5 as we saw some common dolphins and two sea turtles though, at least. Small group of 5 (off-season), with nice and professional staff.

Whales and more - Excursion on the high seas of approximately 4/5 hours. We saw whales and dolphins. Luckily we are not at the zoo so you meet any animals that come along

Nice experience with dolphins - Great experience, although a bit "wet" due to wind and waves. We managed to see two different species of dolphins and one false killer whale. Unfortunately we didn't see any sperm whale :( the staff was very nice and helpful

Dolphin watching, not whale watching - The crew is nice and friendly, the skipper very skilled and the trip on the boat is really fun. The only problem is that they should call it ‘dolphin watch’ because you always see dolphin, and sometimes, if you are lucky, whales. I also think that they lied to us, because when I booked the tour i specifically asked the girl at the desk their statistic about meeting a whale (NOT dolphins) and she told me that in the last month they only missed whales for two days. I don’t think it’s fair to say that, even by reading other reviews you can understand why. If it’s ok with you to just see dolphins is overall a good experience

Wet - It was nice, in the beginning. We got to see the common dolphins in the beginning and the instructor told us a few things about them. Little did we know, and were not told, that we would be soaked. Not wet, we were basically the water. And best of all, those dolphins in the begging were the only things we saw, no whales or anything else.

Bad seating - We reserved as a couple and we were seated apart. Unfortunately our trip wasn't great and we had to have it in a bad mood. All the trip organiser got to say was "sorry". I was unlucky with some selfish people and bad organisation
