    3 hour tour

    It was a lovely trip. We were not packed into the boat. Nice number. We saw pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins. The crew were very kind and were very much into their job. They cared about the people on board and the animals of the sea. Wear sunscreen. Even on cloudy day the sun will find a way.

    Well run, friendly staff...

    Well run, friendly staff and they speak multiple languages. Would definitely recommend it if you want to see dolphins. Whales are rare

    Dolphins and swimming

    Fun ride, do the swim. We saw a baby dolphin next to its mother. Cute. The water is warm in September and it's easy to float. Wear sunscreen.

    Glad we did it

    A fantastic morning out, seeing the dolphins was great! All the crew were friendly and helpful, my wife and I really enjoyed it. Thank you.

    Super time at sea!

    The staff were great… friendly and kept us updated through the trip…. We didn’t see any animals but that’s nature for you! They did offer our next trip at just €10 each which I thought was really good!

    Great experience - highly recommend

    The boat was lovely, the crew were friendly and knowledgable, we saw lots of wildlife which my little girl loved. There were only 4 of us on the boat which made it even more special, thank you for a lovely time

    This is the option to choose!

    Andy_L, Jul 2024
    This is the option to choose! Went last week with my wife and two sons. Normal maximum capacity is 25, which is much better than the (strangely) more popular Magic Dolphin Eco boat with well over 100, but it was just the 4 of us! Great guide (Clavine - hope I got that right) and great spotter and captain on a very comfortable catamaran. Being smaller and quieter, the spotted dolphins came right up to us to swim - fantastic! We got some great photos and especially videos but not posting - you need to go and see them for yourselves 😊

    Dear Andy, Thank you for your great feed back. I will tell Clara you spelt her name wrong:)) Yes, we have 3 boats to choose from. Magic Dolphin Celebrity is my favourite one too. But Magic Dolphin Eco is our flagship, it is very comfortable even if it is full. In terms of seeing the animals it is fast Catamaran to rich to wild life quicker. We hope to see you trying out our different boats. Regards Umut
