Fantastic experience, very friendly crew, good entertainment, seen dolphins, swam in the sea, drinks and lunch were provided.
Longer than it needed to be. A long wait on the return coach. Food needs to be improved. Wines and fruit juices should be an option. Only sangria and beer offered as well as fizzy soft drinks. Some of the music/songs played was not language appropriate for children. Had to ask for life jacket for my 7 year-old grandson, it was not offered. The captain was great.
It was a great experience, saw rays in the harbour and wales on the boat. Had a great time swimming halfway and lovely lunch afterwards. Staff were amazing.
For the price charged and the advertised aquamarine wildlife observation, we were a bit disappointed...we have barely seen few dolfins and some small fishises later, but the bottom glass was useless from my point of view!
Crew were very helpful and polite, the main character and the leader was a real entertainer and we were surprised of his ability to speak multiple languages and help with all our requirements...we were even allowed to be in the captain's cockpit (not sure that is how is called) and take photos there... speaking of photos, they will take photos on nearly every stance of the trip but you have to pay extra 20€ if you want to be sent to you!
Overall nice experience but sea life observation was poorly (end of July)
Water activities, food, drinks and staff were all okay
After quite a wait while they got the boat ready, we boarded and the boat trip was great… apart from massive speakers on full volume right above the indoor seats.
The staff were all very friendly and good fun.
We saw dolphins, various whales, and flying fish which were awesome.
Had a nice swim too, saw some colourful fish.
Unfortunately the trip back to the hotel was a bit of a debacle. Everyone had to wait quite a while in the middle of the car park waiting for the coach. Then there were not enough spaces, resulting in another long wait while the team decided what to do.
With a few tweaks and better organisation this could be a five star trip.
Absolutely excellent from start to finish well done to the staff who make it a great day out and jumping into the sea was unreal from the top deck so well organised the glass bottom deck was amazing to witness and our guide was the life and soul of the party the sea gulls at the end was amazing
Lovely experience felt very personal and entertaining, couldn't fault the guys working on the boat. Water activities were safely monitored and encouraged to everyone to have fun
Brilliant day out and very friendly and was great as a parent with a young child. Felt comfortable going for a swim and my daughter watched as she didn't want to join me but we also went on the kayak together which she loved
It was definitely the best day of our holiday we had an amazing time! The staff were incredibly helpful, funny and attentive - they were amazing with all the children onboard and kept the atmosphere upbeat. We saw a family of around 8 dolphins which was the most amazing sight and the glass bottom boat let us see so many tropical fish. We had time to just enjoy the sea and they provided lots of equipment like snorkelling goggles, kayaks, life jackets etc and there was a slide off the boat and a board you could jump off into the sea too!
There was lunch provided (we had paella) or you could purchase toasties and you got soft drinks and beer/sangria provided throughout the trip too.
They were taking photos throughout the experience and you can pay just 20euros (which I thought was reasonable) and you get all the pictures with you in and of the dolphins etc emailed over.
I had a mix up with what time I was getting picked up (my booking ref said 9:30 and because I hadn’t put +44 in front of my number on the booking they couldn’t message me so make sure you do that when booking so you get updates!) but they sent someone to get us and we were still able to make the boat trip which was unbelievably accommodating of them!
All in all we had an amazing time and would 100% do it again if we are back in beautiful Fuerteventura.
Have been on other boat trips around the world viewing Dolphins, Whales ect. This trip was fairly average the trip is 4 hours but only needs to be 3 hours. There was allot of unnecessary upping the company marketing before the trip, for 30 mins. The trip did go through choppy seas and boat if not the most stable, some on the group were sea sick. They did find Dolphins there was a good underwater viewing area which had a 5 mins time limit. After this they take you to the edge of a harbour for lunch and swim. They could have taken us to a remote beach or cave rather than harbour. The lunch basic paella and bread, would have expected some fish and starter main and desert. The last hour was a waste of time motoring up and down the head land, trying to flog photos for Euros with a 10 min display of how to feed a sea gull with bread. I think most people know how to do this. Could be better for, us the trip was average.
The staff is very helpful and fun. The ship makes a very long tour and the moment when you see the dolphins is truly spectacular

Had a great time on this boat ride. People were very entertaining. Loved the pigeon show. The dolphins and whales were amazing.
Amazing trip and the surprise show at the en just made it. We had pure sunshine which made a difference but the whole experience was amazing do t forget to take your swim wear as the dip in the sea is fantastic definitely recommend this tour. And the girls are fantastic and friendly.
The boat trip was relaxing and enjoyable. We saw some beautiful costal sights and sea life. A couple of points to make - there was not enough food, our party of 3 missed the food whilst sorting an injury from a knee cut, from rocks in sea. A crew member making sure all had opportunity to eat would be a good future idea. Also on a medical perspective the crew member took care of my partner but was missing some valuable equipment to have made the first aid safer for both himself and my partner. Excessive blood was present and the crew member only had blue multi purpose paper to use, thus not sterile in any way. He could also have done with access to gloves to protect himself and my partner. The bandage variety was minimal and I think this injury caught the provisions off guard. Overall a great trip, just some useful feedback for the provider.
Had the best time ever on this trip was very emotional and they didn't stop untill they found the dolphins absolutely loved the staff especially capitan aquaman they done an amazing job and kept us safe and entertained at all time amazing experience and would highly recommend to everyone
Had an amazing experience on the boat with the friendly staff and the meals and drinks which were included chasing the dolphins 🐬 would highly recommend. We are back in UK now but if we was to return we would deffently book another trip 😊 gracious ❤️
Absolutely amazing experience went with my daughter met a women and her daughter the two girls had a great experience seen dolphins. The staff on board are amazing thank you for a great experience if I'm back here I'd definitely do this again x
Seeing the whales and dolphins was fab!. Not many fish or coral when snorkelling. Mowi very funny. Lunch could have been tastier
Unfortunately a couple of family members were sea sick so didn’t manage to enjoy the experience the way we hoped. However the crew were amazing really helpful and I would definitely recommend.
Very poor experience, the staff were very nice but that’s it. Didn’t see any whales/dolphins, we saw more fish in the harbour than on the actual trip. Food provided was very poor. A bag of crisps was €5!!! Would not recommend.
Such an amazing trip! After about 1.5hrs on the water the crew spotted dolphins! There was a whole pod which swam and jumped alongside the boat for ages. A real bucket list experience. Amazing.
Aided by such a friendly, fun crew who really made sure we were all having a great time. 10/10 recommend!
One of the best trips ever! The staff was amazing and took care of anyone. Perfect from beginning to the end.
Great time and enjoyment guaranteed.
Some who have to be 1st to be picked up have to give up their breakfast to be on time, but this experience is worth it!
Fantastic experience. The crew were all fantastic, friendly and professional and great with the kids. It was amazing to see the dolphins and seagull show. And the experiences whilst on the boat, slide, kayak etc were also great.
Wish I could leave bonus stars. I contacted the company 2 days before our trip to let them know I'd had a fall and was worried about steps and getting on and off coach and they couldn't have been more helpful. A guy came to the pick up in his car to help me and they had made sure the front seats where available and when we arrived at the boat the captain andvthe guy in the car helped me to the front of the queue and sat me down. When it was time to board the boat the crew members where amazing. Helping me navigate the big lips in each doorway and made sure I got comfy at the front of the boat. I've tried for countless years to see whales and dolphins in their natural habitat as I won't do captivity and I wasn't disappointed. It was truly magical being escorted by a pod of dolphins as if they where horses pulling the carriage. I've read some boats chase them and surround them but there was none of that the captain just stopped the boat for a few minutes if they weren't around then started up again. It really paid off. It's something I will always treasure and if anyone with limited mobility is worried then just message to let them know so they are prepared and know how to best support you to make it magical.
Wow, that was something... I expected just a swim, some food as promised and some time tomplay in the water.
The reality exceed my expectations double if no more.
All thanks to the wonderful captain of the ship, Carlos, that made this unforgettable experience.
His sense of humor, joy, sometimes scenic behaviours, ability to take ownership of the all aspects of the journey was purely amazing.
This guy was able to cheer up all passengers (some not as they were just sick on the boat), speak in 5 languages, making reasonable jokes, even doing pictures to all of the participants and helping with a boy that fell down and hit his elbow so skillfully.... Magician, magician of the life, as he just radiated with soft confidence and joy.
Love what you are doing man.
If you read this comments and you need a helper on the boat let me know, I'd be happy to join your crew at least for some time :)
The excursion was very entertaining and exciting. Excellent crew attention. Captain Cesar attended us personally and entertained us the whole time. We were watching the dolphins for a long time. After a fun day, on board, we were able to relax with a swim in the sea, before having lunch. The excursion is highly recommended. And do not forget the photo set of the excursion, at a very good price and very complete with details.
Honestly can not explain how good this trip was. I have done many boat trips before but this was without doubt the best ever. The crew are outstanding with the kids and adults alike they made it so so much fun. Would love to go again and would recommend to anyone.
We saw lots of dolphins on this trip and the hosts were super friendly they made it great fun! Food was good too and enjoyed going down to the glass bottom part of the boat. Would recommend:)
