Absolutely amazing (age 3 and under not recommended)

We had a spectacular time on the dolphin watching tour. It was an excellent value for the price. Almost fully booked but didn't at all seem crowded. We left at 9:00 and the marine biologist Kika was knowledgeable and extremely friendly. We got to see a pretty big pod of bottlenose dolphins for a full 30 minutes and then moved on to another area where we got to see some common dolphins with their babies and maxed out our time there. We had a super rare encounter with a hammerhead shark that was sunbathing on the surface and though it was brief, it was still really cool. We had a 4-year-old and a 2 year old with us and although everything was really amazing, I wouldn't recommend it for children under three. It's just a little bit too much for them since there's no bathroom or entertainment outside of the dolphins

Wonderful

It was one of the most fantastic excursions I've ever done. The staff is attentive, remarcared due to the weather without problems and, in addition to dolphins, we saw pieces. The skipper was fantastic and, honestly, was as excited as we were doing the tour

An unforgettable day at sea

We took the boat ride to see dolphins and we only have compliments! From the first contact, the staff was extremely friendly, professional and attentive. They gave all the explanations clearly and made the experience even more special with their good mood and knowledge of the marine life of the region. The boat was in excellent condition, clean, comfortable and safe, with room for all passengers to move peacefully and enjoy the landscape. The journey was quiet and very well conducted. We were lucky to see several dolphins swimming right off the boat! A truly exciting moment, especially being in an environment that respects animals and nature. I recommend this tour for couples, families or anyone who wants to live something special and unique. It was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip. An incredible day that will stay in memory forever!
