Reviews
Our boat's captain, with blond strands in his hair, is very good at his job. He tried to explain to me some facts about the dolphins with his translator. He is always on the lookout for a better positioning of our boat that we are almost always in the middle of the dolphins. Other boats were a bit at the edge.
The activity was very satisfactory, except for the distance. It took 2 hours and 20 minutes from the accommodation to the location by Rent a Car, so the drive was very tiring. I took a boat for 20 minutes to see the dolphins, and the moment I saw the dolphin pod, the fatigue of driving disappeared. There were places where the same dolphin watching activity was twice as expensive, and that place looked good because the boat was bigger, but the time to move by boat was longer, and because the boat was small, there were not many users, so it was better for watching dolphins.
Check-in and ticket collection were clear and simple. The boat was clean, and we had plenty of time, almost an hour, to watch the dolphins.
The meeting point was clear, and we saw lots of dolphins. It was a super positive experience, the price was reasonable, and even though the waves were big, we felt safe wearing life jackets.
It wasn't a big boat, but a fishing boat? A small motorboat? I took that. The price was affordable, and it was great because we could get closer to the dolphins. An hour was enough for the tour!
Experience: Excellent! Highly recommend. Great value for the price, and the boat is fantastic.
It was a truly fantastic experience. All of the staff were friendly and helped keep me safe. Highly recommended.
We've never seen so many dolphins! Amazing! 😍
Good service. Guaranteed seeing dolphins.
The tour was canceled due to strong winds. I gave it one star because I didn't get to participate in the tour.
