Bring some extra layers!

On the positive side - there was plenty of room for everyone, the drinks were good and the views of Lanzarote were beautiful. However whilst I totally understand that there was no guarantee that we would see dolphins or any wildlife, we all felt disappointed with this experience. The staff/crew were functional at best , and there was no interaction other than a short talk at the beginning to explain what was happening, a few glasses being collected and then nothing. It did not feel warm and welcoming to me, A few smiles from the crew and perhaps going round to talk to people would have been appreciated. At the end there was a thank you but no acknowledgement that we didn't see dolphins or anything else (which given the title of the cruise would have felt appropriate) - just a very functional thank you and goodbye. Please note it gets cold! There were several people there with no additional layers and were suffering for it.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the experience didn’t fully meet expectations, particularly regarding the lack of wildlife sightings and the level of engagement from the crew. Your comments about onboard atmosphere are appreciated and will be shared with the team. We value your input and hope to welcome you again for a more enjoyable experience in the future.

Do not go!

Honestly do not bother. We did this and we were told food would be provided, at that time you would assume some sort of dinner but we ended up with some little square ham sandwiches and potatoes. We went out into the water, a man went to the front of the boat, looked around for a couple of seconds and we turned around and come back. We were on the coach there longer than on the boat. We didn't see anything but that might have been because they didn't stop, just blared music (which didn't help) and served some sloppy drinks. Honestly not worth it at all

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. However, having reviewed your comments, it appears there may have been a misunderstanding regarding the nature of the excursion that was booked. This sunset catamaran cruise is operated exactly as described in the tour information. The excursion includes a light onboard refreshment service rather than a full dinner, and the itinerary consists of a sunset sailing experience along the coast rather than a dedicated wildlife-watching excursion. While we always hope to provide the best possible conditions and atmosphere for our guests, sightings of marine life can never be guaranteed. We understand that if the tour was presented differently at the point of sale, this may have created expectations that did not align with the actual product. If that is the case, we would encourage you to contact the company or agent through whom you made the booking, as they are responsible for ensuring the excursion is accurately represented to their customers. We regret that the experience was not what you anticipated, but we can confirm that the excursion operated as advertised.

Sad

This should have been rescheduled or a refund offered. The weather was bad so there was no sunset. No dolphins and it was cold.

Operator response

We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations, particularly as it was a special occasion. As stated in our tour description, dolphin sightings can never be guaranteed, as the animals are wild and free to move throughout the ocean. While we always do our best to locate them, their presence is beyond anyone's control. Regarding the weather, the excursion operated under safe conditions and visibility was sufficient throughout the trip. Had the weather been unsuitable for the activity, the tour would not have departed. While the sky was not completely clear, the sunset was visible, although naturally it may not have appeared as dramatic as on days with ideal atmospheric conditions. We would also like to clarify that the weather was not cold on the day of the excursion, although there was some wind, which is common at sea, particularly during evening sailings. We encourage guests to check the forecast before attending and to bring suitable clothing, as comfort levels can vary from person to person and sea conditions are naturally cooler and breezier than on land. We understand that many guests hope for a picture-perfect sunset, but nature is unpredictable and no operator can guarantee completely cloudless skies or specific sunset colours on any given day. For this reason, weather conditions that remain safe and suitable for sailing do not constitute grounds for cancellation, rescheduling, or refund. We appreciate your feedback and regret that the natural conditions on the day did not provide the experience you had hoped for.

Incredible sunset cruise

The staff were so friendly and attentive welcoming us on board with drinks and canapés, plenty of space inside and outside the guides were great at getting us to our start and finishing points as well as ensuring that everyone got on the correct coaches at the end. The respect to the animals within the ocean was second to non ensuring that noise was kept to a minimum and the boat engine was turned off/slowed right down. We were incredibly lucky to see many dolphins and a whale during our time. Unfortately, I did miss the whale due to a toilet queue! Note to self hold it in! Thank you Lineas Romero for a fantastic experience, one we'll never forget!

Operator response

Evening to remember with dolphins and a sperm whale 🐳

Had a wonderful evening on the boat with beautiful views of the island, open ocean and sunset with no guarantee of seeing dolphins we were still happy having a lovely evening out on the boat. To our suprise after around 30 minutes we saw some dolphins in the distance, the captain reduced the engine right down to protect the dolphins and approached slowly near to where they were, the dolphins chose to come up to the boat and play in the wake jumping in and out of the water happily. It was clear they respected the animals by not chasing them and allowing them to come to us. We were then so lucky to catch a glimpse of a sperm whale on the way back to shore just before he dove down showing us his beautiful tale. All the staff including the capitan and guide were respectful and helpful ensuring everyone had a good time. Way better to see these beautiful animals in the ocean where they belong and not being exploited in aquariums!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted you enjoyed the evening, the views, and the sunset experience. We’re especially happy to hear about your dolphin and sperm whale sightings, and that you appreciated the crew’s respectful approach to wildlife. Our team always prioritises the animals’ well-being and allows them to approach naturally. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you on board again soon!

Wrong meeting point listed

Food was super mediocre and drinks only included beer and some weird mojitos. Meeting point is not correct on the activity!

Operator response

We’re sorry to hear that parts of the experience did not meet your expectations. Regarding the drinks, we’d like to clarify that the options included during the activity are water, soft drinks, beer, sangria, and mojitos. We’re sorry if this was not clearly communicated during your experience. As for the meeting point, we understand how frustrating that can be. We do send guests a Google Maps link along with a photo map clearly marking the meeting points in advance, but we’re sorry if this was still confusing or difficult to follow on the day. We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us improve both our communication and the overall guest experience.

Very good evening

Second outing with this company. Always a treat. Rare where guides speak French, and there, impeccable. Tapas and mojito and drinks galore.... But 6 dolphin aces

Operator response

Merci beaucoup pour votre retour 😊 Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez de nouveau passé un agréable moment et apprécié l’accompagnement en français, ainsi que les tapas, mojitos et boissons. Concernant les dauphins, leur présence ne peut pas être garantie car ce sont des animaux sauvages, mais nous espérons que vous aurez plus de chance lors d’une prochaine sortie ! Au plaisir de vous revoir.
