3 hour tour - It was a lovely trip. We were not packed into the boat. Nice number. We saw pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins. The crew were very kind and were very much into their job. They cared about the people on board and the animals of the sea. Wear sunscreen. Even on cloudy day the sun will find a way.

Catamaran and pilot whale - An amazing experience. After 1h30 of boat ride, we began to make a reason that we would not see dolphins or whales, the ride being in itself very friendly. But when they turned around, they appeared far away... from the pilot whales. And there, about ten minutes of pure happiness with cetaceans approaching our boat... 3 in total, one male followed by one female and one young. The male was right in front of us. In short an unforgettable experience.

Magical trip - Had an amazing trip on this catamaran on October 10. Tony gave us a lot of information about the history, the culture and the wildlife of the island. The highlight was of course the dolphins who came out to play with us. They sure were having a great time and putting on a show. Magical. The dip in the ocean afterwards was very refreshing. A big shout out to the whole crew. I've been recommending you to my friends so watch out for them :-)

Well worth it - Excellent! Had a wonderful time. Carla our host was excellent. She is a marine biologist so knows what she’s talking about. Friendly, relaxed, great value. Only 15 on our boat so not at all crowded. Saw dolphins and pilot whales. Highly recommend.

Good! - Small catamaran, with few people on board and the very kind staff who explained and told both about the territory and the marine fauna that has been spotted. I'd do it again!

Dolphins and swimming - Fun ride, do the swim. We saw a baby dolphin next to its mother. Cute. The water is warm in September and it's easy to float. Wear sunscreen.
