We had so much fun and saw the dolphins up close as they were catching a fish swarm. The marine biologist on board was amazing an we felt like we did not disturb the dolphins too much. Totally recommended!

The entire process from check-in to check-out was seamless and professional. We did the morning half-day excursion and was fortunate to come across a few different pods. Would highly recommend to sit back, enjoy the ocean breeze, and take in the picturesque scenery.

We had the luck to see common dolphins several times while in the water. Once there were really close and dived below us and the boat. On an earlier event we had the chance to see several whales inkl. one very big sperm whale. Two times saw the tail fin!!!

Me parece bien que se deje de nadar con delfines. Hay que respetarlos a ellos ante todo. Verlos desde la barca, libres, saltando y si ellos querían, acercándose, es una experiencia maravillosa.
