Our vessel, Spirit of the Sea, accommodates 97 guests and has a large glass bottom, offering a rare chance to observe the underwater world from the comfort of the boat.

Worth the money, fantastic experience

Absolutely fantastic, worth the money. Unfortunately our hotel wasn't in the area for pick up and drop off. But we got the taxi's easily enough.

Great boat trip with lots of dolphins where they belong!❤️

Very nice experience. This was the second time we traveled on the same boat. Last time was two years ago. We were lucky to see the dolphins early on the trip. I also saw flying fish. Reach even a stop to swim at the end. Totally magical trip. Very nice staff on the boat. 10/10

Opplevelse for livet!

Really nice trip! It was a bit windy and waves, but the staff was super helpful ! They helped you get around on deck, and if you where seasick, they helped you! And then! You saw a lot of dolphins!

It requires patience and a bit of time, but they are indeed there.

We took the cruise for a day, and since we did not see any dolphins, we returned the next day for free. The only downside is that we did not have a choice of schedule; otherwise, everything was perfect, the dolphins were indeed present.

A dream on the high seas.

We had a really great time on the ship; the captain and his crew were nice and helpful. We saw a shark, a sea turtle, many flying fish, and a lot of dolphins. Simply indescribably beautiful. The Spirit of the Sea is a well-preserved catamaran with a sun-protected lower deck and an open upper deck. There are free drinks and a small selection of alcoholic beverages and snacks for a moderate fee. Everything was clean and well-maintained. This was our third time on this tour, and it certainly won't be the last!

Dolphin tour in the Atlantic

Recommended trip to the Atlantic with a competent crew. There was also a warning about the strong seas, which unfortunately some ignored and let it go through their heads. The only negative was the long wait for departure.

Whale & Dolphin trip

Excellent from pick up to drop off, use Viator every year for the same trip for the last 11 years. Will use again next year.

Saw plenty of dolphins

It is a very popular thing to do. There are a number of boats tracking the dolphins - so spoilt for choice. Booking with Viator was easy as usual and the trip was enjoyable and saw plenty of dolphins. 2 and a half hours was just right.
