There were a lot more...

There were a lot more people on the trip than we expected but we arrived in good time so were able to get near the front of the queue which meant we had a good seat. Everyone did get seated but some seats were in the sun and some sideways rather than forward facing. The staff gave good commentary and information about the dolphins we saw. There was a chance to swim with proper stairs to enter the sea rather than a ladder. Toilets and snacks on board were an added bonus!

Cool

Everything went well, a tip if you book online, remember to go exchange it for a small card that they give you to give to the person before boarding the boat. Otherwise very nice, however we did not see any dolphins, what a shame😢

Operator response

Thank you for your visit and for your kind feedback, it is much appreciated.
