Best whale watching experience! - Patrick manunueved his boat like the experienced captain he is. We saw many, many whales! His prepared food and beverages hit the spot. Best of all was his seafaring stories!

Great trip and good value - Great value trip! Ended up just being us on the boat as the other group cancelled which was great. Saw pilot whales and had a lovely swim stop. Captain was great - and very understanding when my little brother got seasick! Highly recommend.

Got what we paid for - saw the dolphins, got some great photos and memories. - Good experience overall, saw the whales and dolphins despite windy weather. The boat captain was friendly although was mainly speaking in Spanish rather than English.

I was very stressed the... - I was very stressed the morning of our trip and after leaving I felt like a brand new person. The weather was beautiful and we saw at least 5 pilot whales. We stopped in a beautiful cove for snacks and a swim before heading back. I am so glad we booked with the Galatea! I definitely recommend. Thanks again Patrick!

Reputable provider - Unfortunately, the boat trip had to be cancelled due to strong winds. The next day we were told that we would get a refund of the payment we had already made which I still have to check after I return to Germany.

Meh. Not worth it. - Meh. The boat owner was a hilarious Irish guy- but he didn’t ride with us. Sent us with a very, very boring tour guide who had a headphone in listening to his own music most of the time. We saw 3 pilot whales, then immediately went back to the shore to “snorkle” and eat sandwiches. No one wanted to swim or snorkel and time was absolutely wasted sitting in a bay NOT watching whales and dolphins. We were expecting a 3 hour tour, it was only 2.5 hours.

Wouldn’t recommend - Very disappointed with this trip. We specifically asked for vegetarian options and it was confirmed twice by text that this request has been received, yet we were provided with ham and cheese sandwiches and was just told to take the ham out??? The actually trip was literally 3 hours of nothing. There was hardly any description of anything. We managed to see some whales for about 5 mins before continuing to sail on in silence.
