Amazing to see dolphins up close in the wild - Staff were brilliant, very helpful - especially the lady on the bar who helped people carry drinks between decks. We saw dolphins and pilot whales, and true to their word the boat always maintained a distance, unlike others we could see that were trying to follow pods and get as close as they could.

It couldn’t get any better 😃 - The journey was suuuuuuuper! We left on time and the ship was not overcrowded! The ship’s crew has explained everything about marine animals in detail in Spanish, English, German and French. I recommend bringing drinks and snacks. But there is also the possibility to get something directly on the ship. I loved the fact that the drinks were not imposed on board. Attention it's not the old pirate ship! Conclusion: it was a great sunny day and we saw several herds of dolphins as well as 5 pilot whales (several meters from the ship) and finally also fin whales. Definitely we will come back and book again. It was one of the greatest experiences. Thank you very much:)

An unforgettable experience! - My mum and I went on this trip on the 26th of March on the 10:30 slot. We were very fortunate and were able to see bottle nose dolphins and pilot whales too! The crew were lovely. They told bits of information about the dolphins and the pilot whales and their migration. What we liked as well as whilst the boat was loving they didn’t keep filling the boat trip with lots of talking so we were able to enjoy the boat ride as well with a small bit of background music. We first saw the bottle nose dolphins within the first 10 minutes which was amazing! We then road the boat out further and that’s where we were able to see the pilot whales. They kept to their promise about not chasing after them as well. At one point they also drove the boat away as well had been close to a pod of pilot whales for a while and as they mentioned they didn’t want to be in the way. However, after moving the boat away the pilot whales came after the boat and were swimming along side. Honestly a fantastic experience 10/10 🌟

A wonderful experience - Experienced a mind blowing excursion seing both dolphins and whales. Staff were very knowledgeable regarding the sea life. The ship was spotlessly clean and catered for all ages and was very reasonably priced 👌

Great experience - Great experience. Would definitely go again. We saw dolphins, whales and a turtle, which was amazing!! Worth the money we paid for. The length of visit was good. Maybe an hour and half on the boat. Informative crew, talked through the different types of dolphins and whales we saw. They created an energetic atmosphere. There was plenty of seating, with a small kiosk selling snacks and drinks.

Not as promised but ok - Nothing bad happened. It was a pleasent journey and I got to see dolphins and a pilot whale. The boat was not a Bahriyeli schooner as described. The guide sound wasn't clear - muffled. No chase is relative; the animals move and they go after them - I guess it's a balance hard to reach. I don't see the connection with Sea Shepherd. Seems like a way to get ethical minded people. You get to an operator that sells multiple activities and on your date time they put you on a queue - yes their T-shirts mention the Neptune's...

Good trip but rude woman taking tickets - Would of gave more had the rude lady taking tickets not completely ignored me after looking at the ticket and then letting other people through the gate. I then asked again what do I do as she didnt tell me as I had an issue with the ticket she couldn't find the number, she then shouted at us which was very rude as we wasn't in anyway rude to her.
