Not worth it at all

Vasanth_C, Dec 2024
This dolphin and whale watching trip was a significant disappointment. Despite the trip description, we did not encounter any dolphins or whales, which, while understandable, was a major factor in our decision to book this tour. Furthermore, the advertised "Swim and Snorkel experience" was completely absent. The boat did not stop at any location suitable for swimming or snorkeling, making the trip feel more like a simple boat ride. While the lack of wildlife sightings can be attributed to unpredictable nature, the absence of the promised snorkeling experience is unacceptable. This tour could easily be replicated, by taking a ferry to nearby islands at a fraction of the cost.

Not very good

Stewart_T, Sep 2023
Not much I know you can’t guarantee to see dolphins stopped too long for diving also to have very young children unaccompanied at the very front of the boat was dangerous they should have been wearing life jackets and also it was definitely not 1 1/2 hours

Lucky experience of beauty

The moment of upcoming dolphins, in couples or three or four swimming in harmony. It was good that the boat do not get to close. I had the feeling not do disturb them too much in their freedom.

The dolphins didn't put in an appearance but maybe next time

We didn't get to see any dolphins but we enjoyed the trip music was perhaps a bit too loud, good social distancing going on as well.

Perfect for children. 2.5 hr max

Dolphin tour is fantastic. Boat is spotless and guide speaks a few languages (clearly) You can swim at one part (wasn’t aware) good value, perfect for children

The excursion is very nice and interesting, dolphins cause great emotions! The team is very friendly and professional.

Loved it!!

Lindsay H, Oct 2019
Both of our adults and our 3 young children loved this trip. Trip leader was entertaining and we saw a fantastic pod of dolphins. Stunning! Great little swim with the fish too. A great 90 mins! Thank you!

Excellent trip!

Julie_H, Apr 2019
Having read other reviews we did not expect to see any dolphins but were pleasantly surprised to see not one pod but two - the Common dolphin and the Atlantic dolphin! Our guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable, and some people enjoyed a short swim/snorkel at the end of the trip. Loved every minute!

Family outing...

JEANFRANCOIS_D, Oct 2025
Nice family outing, very friendly captain and guide. We saw a group of little dolphins.

que no os engañen como a mi y a mi pareja.

Realmente pagas un dinero por perona que no corresponde con la calidad de la excursión, os dejo el por qué: 1. no vimos delfines en ningún momento. 2. no te proporcionan gafas de snorkel. 3. solamente es un paseo en un barco/lancha 5. el último y no el menos importante: nos dejaron 5 minutos de baño y con prisas.

Excursión agradable y...

Mercedes_F, Oct 2023
Excursión agradable y divertida. Muy recomendable. El personal del barco muy bien y muy atento a todo.

Bof
