Great afternoon at sea - We saw lots of dolphins and turtles. The boat was great fun the sea was quite rough and you will need warm clothes and towels we had both and were sopping wet and frozen.however the boat carries blankets.

Magic moment - Half day boat trip to see the dolphins. The result is beyond our expectations. We saw the dolphins up close, an entire colony swimming around the boat. A magic moment. I highly recommend it.

Excellent trip , highly recommend - Very good trip , we saw a couple of turtles and a few pods of dolphins . Plenty of room on the boat and crew very good . Yes, there are some people who complained of sea sickness but surely you would know this before booking a boat trip , not the organisers' fault if you feel ropey . Would definitely recommend

Nice trip which worked out well to a see dolphins. - We really liked the Dolphins watching trip as a whole. The pickup is arranged, the boat crew is nice and helpful to the people. The crew know where to go to find dolphins so this worked out fine. What could be a bit better is equal changes. At the start of the trip it was mentioned to keep your place as there was no need to move around to have an equal view. Positioned at the front were taking standing and kept and sides were not equally served in my opinion. The angle of view especially on the top is not the best to take pictures. A lower view for al would work better.

Prone to seasickness? Recommended! - The crew was really friendly and the dolphins were nice. Only snacks and cold drinks were offered on the board. The wind was cold (April), so some warm clothes could be useful. I recommend the cruise only if you are not afraid of being seasick (the boat is relatively small)

Lovely Afternoon on the Boat Tour - Beautiful boat trip out into the bay even if you don't see any sea animals. I'm a birder, so I was happy to see Cory's Shearwaters and other birds.

Exciting excursion with great views – don’t forget to dress warmly! - Even though we unfortunately could not see any dolphins or whales, the trip was still an experience. The sea was quite undulating and in April it is definitely advisable to take a jacket – it can get quite fresh. Overall an exciting experience with very friendly and helpful staff.
