A boat trip to remember! A nice little boat super friendly staff but especially really opg for detials. To the children but also to the animals. We have seen 30 dolphins but also a whale. At first, we only saw these spraying water up in the distance. But let's get closer and we could see him very well. With respect for the animals and experience they knew a lot to tell. There were people nauseous on drillt this was neatly indicated in advance but also this was well anticipated and they were well taken care of. You could get soft drinks and water on board for free. With a nice surprise for the children we ended this trip! What a special experience to see the dolphins and whale in their natural habitat.
Good experience in general.
We saw a Whale, Dolphins and lots of flying fish. The experience was fantastic and the guide was exceptional. If you get sea sick easily I’d think about taking sea sickness medicine or consider something on land.
An amazing experience with an incredible crew! The ride was quite choppy, so I highly recommend taking motion sickness medication beforehand—nearly half the passengers were seasick! We found that the side seats were the best spot to sit. Don't worry about missing out, though, as you can see the dolphins from every angle. The crew was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and always smiling. They worked tirelessly to keep the ocean clean by picking up trash along the way, while also doing everything they could to comfort sick passengers. A few tips: hold on tight, keep a close eye on your kids, and don’t put your bags on the floor, as water did splash into the boat at one point (which was actually pretty fun!). Seeing a whole pod of dolphins jumping and swimming right next to us was absolutely amazing. To top it off, the crew let us swim for 5 to 10 minutes before heading back to the dock. Thank you, Spirit of the Sea!
Absolutely fantastic, worth the money. Unfortunately our hotel wasn't in the area for pick up and drop off. But we got the taxi's easily enough.
Very nice experience. This was the second time we traveled on the same boat. Last time was two years ago. We were lucky to see the dolphins early on the trip. I also saw flying fish. Reach even a stop to swim at the end. Totally magical trip. Very nice staff on the boat. 10/10
Really nice trip! It was a bit windy and waves, but the staff was super helpful ! They helped you get around on deck, and if you where seasick, they helped you! And then! You saw a lot of dolphins!
We took the cruise for a day, and since we did not see any dolphins, we returned the next day for free. The only downside is that we did not have a choice of schedule; otherwise, everything was perfect, the dolphins were indeed present.
We had a really great time on the ship; the captain and his crew were nice and helpful. We saw a shark, a sea turtle, many flying fish, and a lot of dolphins. Simply indescribably beautiful. The Spirit of the Sea is a well-preserved catamaran with a sun-protected lower deck and an open upper deck. There are free drinks and a small selection of alcoholic beverages and snacks for a moderate fee. Everything was clean and well-maintained. This was our third time on this tour, and it certainly won't be the last!
