Great day out very, the guys were very knowledgeable polite and helpful, we see lots of dolphins very memorable day.
Absolutely fantastic excursion. Got to see lots of dolphins and very nice guides. Highly recommended.
The tour is well organized and Susanne, our guide, is very friendly and explains the process very well.
Thanks! Also thanks for not explaining what went wrong (or didn’t meet your expectations) to fulfill a 5* review. We can’t improve with comments like that, but we are getting used to it.
Very good experience. Knowledgeable guides who do their best to allow us to see the maximum number of species while respecting the animals 👍
Well organized, knowledgeable biologists, and pro-nature. An emotional experience to observe the marine animals.
We did not find many animals, however enjoyed the trip to the ocean and the knowledge of Miguel and his colleagues.
Great trip with helpful and very knowledgeable guides. A RIB took us way out to sea with only 5 on board + the 2 guides, so room to move around when we found some wildlife. The boat will hold probably about 12 on a busier day. We were out on the water for at least 2.5 hours and saw logger head turtles, a playful and curious pod of bottle nose dolphins and a slightly shyer pod of Atlantic spotted dolphins (I think) which seemed to excitement our guides as this was their first sighting this year of that particular species and apparently quite rare. A highly recommended trip if you don't mind a bumpy ride in the open ocean.
Tour guides hosted us well. Friendly, knowledgeable and respectful of the environment. We saw common dolphins, blue sharks, a grey seal and may species of sea birds. Topped by a beautiful sunset. Would recommend due to the quality of the guides and their knowledge.
A return trip to see the dolphins and it didn’t disappoint … saw a huge pod of common dolphins on a feeding frenzy, amazing ! The marine and bird life was very well explained by our crew.
We booked the tour the night before without any issues. Since the preliminary tour took longer, we started late, but that was not a problem. The two guides were very nice and explained a lot, taking plenty of time to find the dolphins, which unfortunately did not work out. Very unfortunate, but that is how it is in nature.
