Dolphin Mini Cruise at Playa del Carmen

Had a lovely time! Sadly saw no dolphins but we knew it was unlikely. Nice trip around Lanzarote on the sea. Was a bit wavey but guide and captain were great. Lovely views. Few people went swimming and life jackets were there for smaller children if needed. We did leave around 5 minutes late and arrived back around 3 mins early so it was short but sweet! Would do again as many of the other boat tours are longer; this was a great short alternative.

Seeing dolphins is of course not guaranteed - and as the boat turned round and headed back to port we’d accepted that on this occasion we had at least been lucky to see some flying fish. Then a pair of dolphins surfaced within 10m of the boat! The crew slowed the boat right down and we found ourselves in the middle of a pod. The dolphins were swimming with the boat, racing, leaping and flipping. There was even a baby swimming next to its mother. So moving. The boat is small enough that you still feel close to the water, but large enough to keep steady in the waves so none of us felt sea sick. Thank you to the crew for a fantastic experience.

Absolutely poor experience and would not recommend. It was overpriced, despite going direct to the tour operator for the best price. We were a family of 4. We were the last in the queue, despite arriving 20 mins early, and had to stand in the blazing sun. Our seats were at the back and had no view at all. The hour at sea to see dolphins and other wildlife revealed only tourists on various boats - there is no way we’d ever see dolphins with the noise of all the boats on the route. The guide admitted to being severely hungover and gave no useful facts or history to keep us entertained whilst we were searching for imaginary dolphins. The final 30 mins were to swim in the sea, which wasn’t ‘crystal clear waters’ as described. In fact, we were by a banana boat place, so had constant additional waves. Waste of money. Do not go.

Wow this was a humbling experience. Although I’ve been abroad around forty times I’ve never seen dolphins in the wild. We were not guaranteed to see them and the guide told us that on Saturday one trip had seen them and one hadn’t. I didn’t expect to see them. One was spotted at first then eventually there were about twenty. We were so excited! Some of them were doing tricks like backflips and some doing synchronised swimming ! I could still cry even writing about it. You could feel their joy. You must experience this.

We are disappointed as we did not see any dolphins, whales or hammerhead sharks as advertised at the beginning of the tour. After 1 hour looking for these mammals it was proposed to swim .... at the exit of the port 😞.

Exceptional sea walk!!! We saw many, many dolphins thanks to our amazing guide Teddy! Extremely friendly, funny and interesting: it gave us valuable information about dolphins, marine wildlife in general and Lanzarote. He speaks English, French and Spanish. Thank you very much we are delighted!!!!

Friendly and funny. 🙂 It was very nice, good organisation, nice price, good information and warm water. We Love it. 🛥️⛱️

Nice family outing, very friendly captain and guide. We saw a group of little dolphins.

We did this tour today.There were 3 staff on board but the Captain was Teddy.Other reviews have stated there were no dolphins to be seen,so we didn't hold out much hope. But the staff soon spotted a pod and headed in that direction. They reduced the engine and for a good 30 minutes we were surrounded by the pod who were circling and coming close to the boat in a playful manner. After the dolphin interaction we headed back toward the harbour but stopped to allow people to swim off the boat.The staff were very patient and caring toward the children onboard. All throughout the trip they took time to explain the types of dolphin,whale etc in the locality as well as some local history. The money spent on this trip was extremely reasonable considering the staff interaction and the dolphin pod they found,and I would have no hesitation in recommending this trip and company to others seeking a trip on the sea.

The crew was very engaged and funny. We haven’t found any sea creatures but it was still nice for me and my 4yo to experience his first cruise.
