Beautiful day! - A memorable family experience on August 21, 2025. A professional and caring team as well as a captain at the top, who do everything possible to make you have a great time. We were able to observe dolphins and globicephalus while respecting the animals and their environment. We had booked 3h boat, we even had 45 minutes more. I recommend without hesitation

Fantastic - We were received kindly. The boat was spacious. And my son and I were in front. You had a good view there. We have seen pilot whales and an awful lot of dolphins. Was really a top experience. Afterwards, one of the crew came to walk around and ask how we liked it. I love this kindness. We had a really great experience.

Unique experience - A great experience! Our little boy of 10 years enjoyed it a lot, and although it took a while for the cetaceans to appear, finally he showed a group of calderones and it was a sight! We enjoyed ourselves so much. Also you have to consider also the place where you are, in the middle of the Strait of Gibraltar, seeing the coast of Africa! Come on, all of 10!! 100% recommended

Inolvidable - All the unforgettable experience. We saw dolphins but even if the circumstances do not show cetaceans, only the experience of the boat and the good vibe that is generated, is worth it for anyone who goes and at any age. Don't think about it.

very disappointing experience - how to summarise the experience. The ocean was not quiet, big waves, so after a few minutes many people were sea sick. We got some false announcements at the beginning « we are seeing them ahead ».. And then radio silence. 3h with everybody getting progressively sick and angry at the crew. A passenger repeatedly asking for the captain to come explain to the passengers what was happening. in the end, 3 long hours of seeing nothing except sick people vomiting, no announcement, no captain showing up, nothing… It can happen that the weather conditions are not ideal for cetacean watching, but in that case the company should cancel. A poor experience.

Disappointing on tourguide's part - Unfortunately, the port has come down and left a bit. We were greeted very nicely by a lady who unfortunately went straight. The announcement on the boat was difficult to understand and played via USB stick. After 2.5 h we unfortunately did not see anything - that can happen and should be taken into account. However, there were no announcements/explanations or apologies from the crew and we were brought back wordlessly. All in all disappointing on tourguide's part.

Never happened - Tour never happened. Last tour was mid-September. Tripadvisor did not inform us and was not available, we waited unsuccessfully on site. A day of wasting time. And I haven't got my money back yet.

Unprofessional, absolutely not recommended. You should never work with such partners! - Underground, unprofessional, not recommended! We had this excursion booked, paid and confirmed long-term, on the occasion of our law firm anniversary. To get to the meeting point we had additionally organized a transfer for 11 people (500 €). It was supposed to be the highlight of our trip. Two days before we got a Spanish mail asking if we could accept another appointment. When we denied this, we were informed that the minimum number of participants would not be reached and that the weather did not allow an excursion. By the way, today, 30 minutes before the start of the planned trip, the sun is shining and it is windless... (!!!!). Last but not least, the booking was cancelled by the organizer, without an apology, without an alternative offer. Unbelievable! Conclusion: Never again TripAdvisor

bad experience as we waited for hours in the heat for nothing and no one came forward - unfortunately did not take place and no cancellation on the part of the organizers or tripvisor on the contrary repeatedly the indication that it takes place at 11 am that was a lot of stress and time it cost
