Great experience. - The experience was very good, because we had been looking for dolphins for almost two hours and the crew, beyond their duty, kept looking for them until we found them. Furthermore, despite being behind schedule, they fulfilled the promised "swim in the open sea," so my rating of the crew is a 10.

Great experience to see the dolphins 🐬 - This was a good experience. The coach came on time for the pick up and it was a pleasant journey through the mountains to the marina to get the boat. The staff on the boat were very friendly and helpful. The sea was a bit rough and we travelled more that two hours before seeing some dolphins 🐬 It was a fantastic experience. This trip included a swim stop for those who wanted to take a quick swim for ten minutes before we headed back to the marina for disembarkation.

Interesting - We did a later afternoon experience and it didn’t disappoint! We saw lots of dolphins when we got to the area! However, it was a rough journey to get there with the boat been expertly sailed through some rough parts of the sea. All I can say is there was a lot of sea sick people … it felt like a long time to get there and back but entertaining for us for all the wrong reasons. The crew were great with the sea sick passengers, seems like it could be a regular occurrence so if you know you’re prone to it, maybe give the experience a miss.

Disappointed - 2 hours 40 minutes by boat for 3 minutes of dolphins. The cetaceans were very difficult to find that day and the organizer is obviously not to blame. On the other hand, as soon as they were located, we were only entitled to 5 minutes of observation, watch in hand! And yes, one certainly shouldn't exceed the return timing by 10 minutes... Time is money!

One can get extremely seasick... - Unfortunately, not a nice experience for me because I was extremely seasick and had to throw up 6 times, and unfortunately there were no dolphins that day either. Nevertheless, we were offered a free trip because we didn't see anything.

Very Disappointing - Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience for us. The sea conditions were extremely choppy, which made the trip very unpleasant. A number of passengers were struggling with seasickness and the staff were regularly handing out sick bags. To their credit, the staff were friendly and helpful throughout, and obviously the sea conditions are outside of their control. Unfortunately, we also didn’t see any dolphins. We appreciate that wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, but after such a difficult journey it added to the disappointment. On the return journey there was a planned swimming stop. From what we could see, nobody seemed particularly interested in stopping by that point — most passengers appeared to simply want to get back onto dry land. I also don’t recall being offered the “free soft drink” that was supposed to be included. At the end of the trip, a tip box was put out for passengers, which felt a little optimistic given the experience we had! There was also someone who boarded the boat offering photos of the trip, and we received a small plastic keyring as a souvenir. Thankfully, once we had recovered, our group could see the funny side of the day. However, I would strongly advise anyone considering this trip to think carefully about how well they cope with choppy sea conditions. If you know you suffer from seasickness — or simply don’t know how you’ll react — this may not be the trip for you. I appreciate that the operator cannot control the weather or guarantee dolphin sightings, and the staff themselves were pleasant. Unfortunately, the combination of the rough conditions, seasickness and no dolphin sightings meant this was not an enjoyable experience for us.
