Very nice boat trip - Very nice boat trip. We saw a lot of whales. The crew is very friendly. Then the stop in el puertito for snorkeling was also blissful. Wonderful time with our family, including 4 year old son

Whale watching - We had Guy as captain today. It's been a phenomenal experience.
We've managed to see enough pilot whales even though the sea wasn't calm.
The attention given by the captain has been outstanding.

Really great time - We went on this boat trip it was really good, we saw a turtle and pilot whales but wasn't any dolphins around. Still a great experience the boat was comfortable and had seating in the sun at the front and shaded at the back. Christian our guide was very knowledgeable and was very helpful throughout especially when my wife felt a bit sea sick. Was a great experience and highly recommended.

Our favourite day! - Everything from start to finish was fantastic. The staff who take the bookings are the friendliest people. They could not do enough to make our experience special. Even giving us a bottle of Cava as a gift for an 18th Birthday.
We then got on the boat and staff took photos of us before we left the port.
The boat trip itself was the best we have ever done. The Captain, Christian, took us out to the area where whales and dolphins typically are. Obviously it can never be guaranteed that you will see anything, but Christian is very knowledgable and experienced and more importantly respectful of marine life. As soon as he saw them from a distance he turned the engine off and we all sat quietly so as not to disturb them. This meant that the whales and dolphins swam right next to our boat, sea turtles too! It was the most amazing, surreal experience.
After we went over to the coastline and docked up. We were given snorkel equipment and went for a swim, whilst Christian made us all lunch with drinks. We ate lunch on the boat and Christian was answering all of our questions about marine life, the area etc.
We then sailed back along the coastline to the port. The views are stunning!
Few tips for a great day -
- There are many companies that offer this trip, this was our third time doing this and we loved this company the most. As they only take small groups out, its quieter and you have a higher chance of seeing them.
- Get to the gate a little early so you can talk to staff and ask any questions.
- Have the photo taken of your family on the boat, it’s a great keepsake.
- Sit at the front of the boat if you are prone to sea sickness.
- Go for a swim and use the snorkel equipment, the fish we saw were beautiful.
Thank you to all the staff for making our day so special!

Nice Trip, Quiet Guide - We enjoyed our experience. The boat was clean and comfortable. We got to see some baby, but not many. No dolphins or turtles, but we understand nothing can be guaranteed.
We felt that the guide could have been better. He barely spoke at all, saying very little throughout the trip. It would have been nice if he socialised more and spoke about what we could see.

Lovely trip - Seemed a little underwhelming at first. Small boat. Quiet captain but turned into a lovely trip. Maximum passengers 11. We had 9. Made for a friendly atmosphere. After a while you get an offer of can of pop, beer or wine. When we stopped at the bay, he comes out with ham salad baguettes like mum makes which actually made it more informal. Saw loads of pilot whales and 1 dolphin and turtle. On the way back he raised the sails and for a while you were on the millionaire's yacht. Would recommend!

Could do better... - The view was amazing.
We did indeed see pilot whales which were gorgeous. There was a pod with some babies, just fab.
No chase, eco aware.
The captain was far from chatty. Spoke for a few mintues drove us out, and spoke when we saw the Whales and then became very quiet again.
Had to ask repeatedly for water. Hosting skills are not his forte! He seemed annoyed when people requested refreshment and it was all supermarket brands and tiny bottles of water.
He smoked throughtout the trip. Smelled of stubbed out cigarettes near the seats.
After the saw the whale pod we went to a cove, another boat was anchored playing loud music and we moved on.
We were invited to swim and snorkel. A bag of what can be described as carboot sale find consisting of masks and snorkels was offered.
My son and i took our own. Nothing to see as we were too far out and not near rocks.
10 mins max to swim.
Snacks were offered when everyone was swimming...don't know what they were.
There were 8 seats shaded and similar on the outside space. People were burnt sat here, despite the afternoon trip.
Returned to port.
Got off, left no tip and went on our adventure.
To see the whales was fab. I expected some more commentry of the sights and insights into the life of whales etc.
I asked lots of questions and felt a bit of a pest doing so. The captain was 'going thru the motions' and seemed bored.

Best jacaranda - Room C 142
Hello, following our stay from July 12 to 19, 2025, there are several things that have changed enormously since we came in 2021:
After cleaning our room, it was necessary several times to request our towels or wait for them
That there is no longer a free bottle of water
Meals are repetitive, not hot
Sunbeds are stormed around 6:30 a.m. and many people use them only in the late afternoon
As for the restaurant staff, really good and super friendly as well as the animators of Mondial Tourism (especially Flavian and Mériem)
There, otherwise the hotel is very well placed and will see us again. Have a good day.
