Sailing on the ocean - Wonderful experience, boat ride and exceptional team. Kind and fantastic with the child, prepared, recommended for those who love small groups, more intimate, delicious snack. The stretch without engine, very pleasant, was worth the exit. Thank you. Elia Sara e Flavio

A beautiful experience with the best hosts - We always do a boat trip on holiday - this might be the best ever. Just 10 people plus 2 crew - and we passed the rammed party boats and were happy not to be on them. The wonderful Captain Salvador offered us drinks, made us feel at home and was on the radio to follow up sightings of whales and dolphins. He engaged with everyone in multiple languages and went above and beyond. We saw lots of pilot whales that swam right up to and beneath the boat - it was enchanting. He gave us great facts about the birds, fish and sea mammals we were seeing. Another great thing? We stopped a couple of times so they could fish out plastic left by less careful people at sea - a big tub, a weird thing that looked like a lamp - they knew this damaged local sea life and were doing their bit. It fit with the overall vibe of a trip that didn’t feel like a tourist churn, but generally lovely and run by people who care about where they live. We had sandwiches, beer, cava, we got a hug as we left. What a great day.

After being provided lunch and we return to the port. Thank you so much for this experience.

Respectful, attentive 5* trip - Great boat trip, so much more personable than the previous ones we have been on. Small groups, the host is very attentive and always making sure you’re okay. Definitely recommend if you wish to see the whales/ dolphins in a more respectful, peaceful environment.

Book now, if you're into intimt and magical experiences - What a great experience - and excellent service. Myself and my two daughters (15/18) had a wonderful time with Salvatore and his crew. He picked us up on time at the hotel, and drove us to the Marina. A nice and comfortable sailboat, with good facilities. Salvatore told us about the animals, the Island, the Calima and the sea. He eagerly shared all his knowledge. I would reckommend this to everybody who wants a more intimate experience.

Sea life watching at its best. - We were collected from & returned to our hotel at no extra cost and boarded the boat with 7 others at Puerto Colon. After a short delay due to a flat battery we cruised out of the harbour and were treated to lots of information about the area and its wildlife by the extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic skipper. We spent some time watching at a respectful distance a family group of pilot whales which was wonderful. Then called close inshore behind a fish farm and saw dolphins and had a close encounter with beautiful loggerhead turtles. A spell of snorkeling amongst numerous fish in crystal clear water was followed by complimentary drinks and baguettes on board as we returned under sail to the port. A fabulous way to enjoy being out on the water and to watch and learn about the amazing sea life of the area. Excellent !
