A magnificent experience with the dolphins, what a thrill!
An exceptional experience with passionate and very attentive professionals: we were able to swim with dolphins several times and were lucky enough to come across a very large group of dolphins that wanted to play with us and came very close to us. The team is attentive to ensuring everyone is comfortable and that the dolphins are respected: we dove in very small groups and if they left or fled from the boat, we left them alone to find another group.
The boat is comfortable while being of a reasonable size. The skipper knew how to soften the waves when the sea was "hitting" a bit.
Thanks to Maria and Nunu for their kindness and professionalism, we recommend 100%!

Good experience.
Excellent experience, they provide a snorkel and a life buoy in case you are too scared. In two groups of 4 max, you travel on a boat and you swim in groups with the dolphins.
