Recommended! - Nice and enthusiastic team. They do everything they can, with respect for the animals, to spot them and tell fun facts. Very nice experience to experience, where we spotted 4 whales and many dolphins.

A must-do while in Pico! - The team was very organized and knowledgeable. Our guide, Lynn, was a ray of sunshine and did a wonderful job. We were fortunate to see several sperm whales, a large turtle, and both common and bottlenose dolphins. We had a great time!

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE - Very nice sea trip in search of whales. Great briefing from the team. Especially Linear who gave us all the explanations about cetaceans. In the end: A male sperm whale, spotted dolphins and Risso dolphins. A team that does not count its time and shares its passion.

Sublime experience - Fantastic experience. Very professional organization with super enthusiastic supervisors. They were even happier than we were when we were able to spot a whale shark swimming next to and under the boat. We spotted 4 different fish including dolphins, beaked whale and hammerhead shark. Definitely recommended, but best book in time.

Best chance to see whale tales and lovely dolphins - I enjoyed the trip so much. Our guide,t he young male,sorry I forgot to write down his name, did the good job of clear instructions and detailed information. He takes initiatives in explaining everything and is so knowledgeable. And the view is of course fantastic. We saw four species and also one mother whale and the child whale. The mother whale showed us the tale!

Amazing with family’s - We were at the back of the line so the boat filled up fast but we got the seats we wanted in the very back. It’s a small boat it wasn’t very splash but we did have really good water conditions. We saw sperm whales and one other type of whale. We also saw spotted dolphins and common dolphins. At the back of the boat you can sit up higher and see everything. The crew was very helpful and explained why we were doing everything and the young lady explained everything about every type of animal. One you finish on the boat they take you back into the hut and further explain about the whales and dolphins.
