Every cent is worth it! - Great experience with the dolphin tour. At first I was skeptical about the tour and I thought you wouldn't see any dolphins. But it was quite the opposite. You couldn't imagine that many. Then on the return trip, we were shown still beautiful secret beaches and beech trees.

Fun educational excursion with enthusiastic guidance - Very nice trip, Catarina gives very good explanations along the way and is enthusiastic. After an hour the first dolphins spotted. Different species, later also encountered a swordfish. Was more than worth it!

Amazing guides! - The guides were knowledgeable, respectful of the wildlife and great communicators. I appreciated that they talked not only about the dolphins but also the birds that we saw.

Great Experience - Highly Recommend - It was a great experience. The guide and boat driver were very good. We were fortunate and got to seals a group of dolphins. It's a little boat with no bathroom breaks so be prepared for 3 hours in one seat. Also, take a wind breaker because the boat goes fast in between sightings and it feels like a mini roller coaster ride. Also, the trip to the beach is very nice.

Great experience - I wanted to thank Rachel who in addition to making an effort to explain in French for my 8 year old son, made us live a very beautiful time. The icing on the cake, on our return we had the chance to see a whale.

Greedy and sleazy - not worth it - We had a terrible experience with this tour operator. Extremely greedy and rapacious. Beware! The dolphins are amazing, but these guys are money hungry and sleazy. You can see the dolphins with any number of boat tour companies - be smart and choose another one!
