A recent review from April 20, 2025, captures the essence of this adventure:

“Sunny day for dolphins and whales - Beautiful sunny day. Had thought would be cold but very warm and able to catch some sun. Saw dolphins and pilot whales. The info had said only stops for a swim in summer, but did stop for exactly that! Sadly I had not brought my costume - so missed out. Didn’t spoil the trip though. Just lovely.” (Reviewed at: 2025-04-20)
