The captain and his crew were knowledgeable and very friendly. They were so respectful of the animals and that was the best part of the experience. They found us spotted Atlantic dolphins to swim with and the experience was beyond my imagination! And when the dolphins started to change behaviour and move away from us, the captain made the difficult and best decision to leave the pod in peace instead of agitating them. Exactly what every decent human should want from their tour group. It was an extraordinary experience and me and my family highly recommend this company.

Amazing tour with dolphins jumping in front of the boat. We had three dives. Very good organized. We has a bonus tour to the two small Islands when we returned.

Unique experience

Owl tour to meet dolphins and other schools of fish. Eco-friendly, informative. We had the opportunity to swim right next to dolphins several times.

Fantastic experience

Fantastic! They take their time and explain everything well. The first group of dolphins didn't have time for us, so they went looking for another group. Everyone has been able to swim several times

Tolle Tour trotz Kotzen 🤣

Alina_W, Sep 2024

Es war quasi die letzte Tour dieses Jahr und es war dennoch sehr erlebnisreich! Ich konnte 2 mal ins Wasser und Delfine von ganz nah sehen und auch hören 😄. Leider hat dann der starke Wellengang mich immer wieder zur Kotz-Tüte greifen lassen. Es wurde sich dann sehr liebevoll um mich gekümmert. Tolle Erfahrung insgesamt!

Fabuloso
