Was an amazing experience…we were able to see a lot of Dolphins…the guide and the captain were really good…it took us a while to find the dolphins but they were very persistent and did not give up

Driven a good 9 miles out, but unfortunately didn't see any dolphins. Must have been too late for a dolphin tour in late October.

The experience as such well, we saw dolphins and 3 large caves off the coast. As for the organization was bad, we were almost the first waiting because we arrived early and ended up riding the last in the boat with what entails being left with fewer views. As for the Spanish language as little was hired, 3 words focused on speaking in English and if you know well and if not. I would not repeat or recommend as there are many alternatives.

Nice trip, nice tourguides, smaller group which we liked and besides the caves are also allowed to see the dolphins. Recommended!

L équipe était très sympa
Un peu le bazar pour trouver à la arrivée le tour opérateur
Par contre nous avions pris ce module juste pour les dauphins et nous avons fait les grottes ce que nous ne voulions pas à la base.
Très bon moment avec les équipe du bâteau
