An absolute bargain for 2 hours on the boat. We got to see numerous pilot whales and turtles. Take your swimwear for a dip in the ocean
The staff are so friendly and make the trip very enjoyable for all ages.
I can't recommend highly enough.

Good fun, we got to see plenty of whales and dolphins, it was a good length, the swimming stop was very short. It was quite choppy so if you get sea sick take something before you go.

Great experience! Saw pilot whales and dolphins and had a chance to swim in the bluest ocean ever! Knowledgeable guides

What a fantastic experience. We got to see pilot whales and dolphins! The crew were professional and knowledgeable and the trip was time managed really well with time to swim at the end of you wanted to. The trip isn’t too long for those concerned about sea sickness.

Really good experience. Was dubious about seeing both Whales and Dolphins but we did. Also had a chance to to jump off back of boat for a bit of swimming.

A nice litle trip in the ocean, together with an expert, kind and friendly crew. We met small whales and had a bath near a clif. Amazing.

This is the second time we have been on this trip and it was amazing, again. Crew are really friendly. We saw whales and 2 types of dolphins.

Was a great experience, the staff were very knowledgable and friendly. it was abit of a bumpy ride but we were warned of this on arrival and were offered an alternative but decided to go ahead anyway which we feel added to our experience. It was a fun journey and we saw some whales which was amazing, the staff were good at identifying the animals that we could see and telling you abit about them, they were very considerate to keep space between the boat and the animal and being very careful not to startle them. Had a chance to stop and swim we chose not too but enjoyed relaxing during the stop, there are snacks and refreshments available at a price. Overall loved it would highly recommend.

24 hours before we were sent an email cancelling the trip because 'of rough seas'. We found another operator who pointed out that the boat we were due to go out in was in dry dock. We were disappointed that this company lied to us.

lauren_b, Dec 2025
this tour was overall great. we didn’t at 5pm to also see the sunset. it must be noted that we didn’t see any whales, only dolphins but i understand that is subject to change. also there was no swim spot, little bit of a let down on that.
Natasha_S, Dec 2025
Absolutely loved it. Friendly staff and magical experience seeing dolphins and whales for the first time. Very good value
Amaris_S, Nov 2025
Our group saw whales, dolphins, and sea turtles during our 11am trip. The staff were friendly and we left/arrived at the dock on time. There was about a 20 minute time slot for us to swim at the end of the trip before heading back to the dock. Lots of people on board.
James_M, Nov 2025
All round great experience. We saw dolphins, whales and turtles, had a lovely swim (tip: bring a snorkel). The staff on board were very friendly and passionate about the wildlife. Nice amount of shaded areas on the boat too. Great for kids.
Teresa_R, Oct 2025
This was a great trip, the crew were very respectful of the wildlife. We did manage to see dolphins and pilot whales.
Crew members were happy to take photos for you on your own phone/ camera. Sea was a little choppy at times and a couple of people were poorly, the female on the staff was very attentive to those who were poorly. Would definitely recommend
Sarah_J, Oct 2025
Very good tour, saw dolphins and whales, very friendly staff, lovely tour and got to stop and swim in the very blue ocean
Austin_D, Oct 2025
Very knowledgeable staff, great experience, highly recommend to anyone with or without families, managed to see dolphins after 20 mins, great value trip
Magdalena_K, Oct 2025
Watching wales and doplhins was nice experience . Swim stop and snorkeling were also amazing. We really enjoyed that
Michael_S, Oct 2025
Try to get booking for late afternoon. Far more likely to see marine life later on.
The crew are amazing and explain everything you'll need to know
Bring own snorkeling gear as you'll get a chance to swim in the surprisingly warm Atlantic Ocean, having viewed Bottle nosed Dolphins, Pilot whales and more.
Sandy_R, Oct 2025
The guides were very friendly. We saw whales, dolfins and turtles. We had a nice swim
off the boat. A worthwhile and fun trip.
Sarah_K, Oct 2025
Wonderful trip, the guides were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We saw pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins, flying fish and even a green turtle!
andybudx, Sep 2025
Very friendly staff who tried very hard to look after and entertain everyone on board. As promised we saw some dolphins and lots of whales. It was amazing to see them in their natural environment. Good value for money but be aware the boat does roll so take precautions if you are prone to get sea sick
Rachael_G, Sep 2025
Easy to find, friendly staff, clean small boat which wasnt over cramped, saw the whales which was a lovely experience didnt see dolphins or turtles which was dissapointing but for £13pp cant complain.
Water swim stop ✋️ we'll this was the worst part the boat was rocking in the swell so much 1 of our party was unwell and 3 others felt unwell 😫
SwarnimaSingh, Aug 2025
Worst experience of my life. Highly unprofessional and unethical.
First gave the wrong address then did not wait for our group. I am 6 months pregnant and left me locked at the dock. Even after asking for help left me there. I was crying in tears with stress that where to go and what I will do for 2 hours in a hot sunny warm day without any shelter. Worst day of my life, please avoid if want some peace in your life.
Ruth_B, Aug 2025
Didn’t even get the experience. Choppy seas trip was cancelled and was refused a refund by both Viator and PayPal!
Shanmugapriya_N, Aug 2025
The trip was worth the money. Well organised although I could not hear half of what the guide was saying. It could be because we were sitting at the back and the audio was not clear. Nevertheless that did not ruin the tour. We saw beautiful pilot whales, loads of them as well Dolphins. We did not feel the heat in that yacht and no sea sickness felt too. Very breezy day and the trip was a success. Kids enjoyed watching the animals. The tour was of the right length of time.

The owner is not a good host, not nice at all and does not take care of the clients. The two workers on the boat were nice and helpfull with everyone.
Bring water and some food with you as they will sell you water and chips at golden price.
Emma_L, Jul 2025
The crew was great but we drove way too close to the pilot whales… we were driving very fast towards a pod of 10 pilot whales and at a point we were about metre from them but the engine was still on. The whole tour and snorkelling was very fun but the fact that the boat was going so fast towards the cetaceans was unethical and not good for marine life especially since they marketed the tour as an eco-friendly tour.
Cheryl_A, Jul 2025
The 0900 excursion was perfect for my husband, parents and myself. In no time at all we were not only enjoying the boat and the beautiful weather but close proximity to a group of pilot whales. Such majestic beings. Next some beautiful dolphins came close by and one was ‘clapping’ the water for all to see and hear. Finally myself and some of the other passengers enjoyed jumping in for a cooling swim. A perfect way to start our day.
