    We saw 2 Whale breaches!!

    Bobbi_G, Mar 2024
    Absolutely amazing tour! We got to see 2 Whale breaches, 2 huge pods of spinner dolphins and a couple giant turtles! Francesco and Nick were amazing hosts. They went out of their way to make sure we got to see as much as possible. Both of them were very knowledgeable in the sea life, and answered all of our many questions. The hospitality was outstanding! I’d recommend this tour operator %100! Thanks for the great memories!

    50 Whales

    The crew are highly skilled at finding whales. We saw about 50 whales. Also, they found turtles and dolphins.

    The captain and first...

    The captain and first mate were great trying to find whales! The boat was fast enough to get us around and yet large enough we were comfortable and stayed relatively dry!

    Fantastic experience

    Esther_T, Jan 2024
    Francesco was a fantastic boat captain and tour guide. The zodiac boat we were on was the perfect size for a smaller group. Unfortunately, the whales were not cooperative that day, which is totally not in anyone’s control. But we did see a massive pod of dolphins and they hung out with us for about 20 minutes!! The water was so clear that it was super easy to see them and watch them playing. The seas were super calm that day so Francesco took us over to the cliffs, which he said almost never gets to happen because it’s usually too rough. That was beautiful!! Francesco was super knowledgeable about the island and even gave recommendations for food afterwards. I went to one of the places he recommended and it was amazing. I would highly recommend Francesco for a tour on the water.
