Magical - Great experience. We checked the sea/weather conditions prior to booking and went out on a calm sea. The crew and captain Juan were fun and knowledgeable, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins in their natural habitat. Even though it was a dolphin spotting trip, the crew was careful not to harass them, which I really liked. The catamaran was spotless and trip well organised.

Unforgettable viewing tour of dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean - Very well organized dolphin watching tour (including hotel pickup) with a very helpful and humorous team. We too have actually been able to see several dolphin families in the Atlantic Ocean off Puerto Rico. The catamaran also has discs in the hull, so you can also observe the animals underwater. On the way back to the port, the team fished for plastic debris from the sea before turtles got caught in it, among other things. We had an unforgettable experience together with our three-year-old son. Thank you for that!

Recommended! - Toll. Highly recommended. We were allowed to experience two groups of dolphins. And a turtle crossed our path, too. The crew was very friendly, funny, child-friendly. A beautiful experience.

Absolutely superb - Fantastic early evening cruise with Spirit of the Sea. We saw turtles, flying fish and so many dolphins. Was really impressed with how passionate the team were about their environment too, cleaning plastic bags out of the sea and checking on a turtle who initially looked like it might have been entangled in plastic. Was superb fun, and we learnt lot too

Fantastic experience - Duncan and the crew made this trip . Their enthusiasm, helpfulness and laugh a minute sense of humour made this trip the highlight of our holiday. We saw sea turtles,flying fish, Marlin and a pod of 8 to 10 dolphins which played by the boat, incredible experience.

Recommended excursion - They do not warn that even if you buy the ticket online you have to queue to validate it (same queue as people who do not have access). All tours, from any company, are valid for the excursion as they warn each other where the dolphins are so that all boats can see them. Recommended excursion. We've been slow to see the dolphins but we've finally made it. We've seen turtles and flying fish too.

Started out rocky but ended well. - The trip didn't start off well. The pick up location was used for multiple tours so a number of buses were coming and going. For all the other tours the driver got off the bus to check tickets. Our driver let the first 4 people who lined up get onto the bus and drove off. Two of those people were supposed to be on a different tour and we were left behind feeling stunned. I called the main office and they were kind enough to contact the driver, who turned around to pick us up. The boat cruise itself was well run. We found a pod of dolphins and the captain maneuvered the boat to play with them for about half an hour. The staff were amazing! Multiple people got sea sick and some fell, scraping a knee or shin, when trying to walk as the boat bounced on high waves. They were well prepared, quick to respond, and calm; all while maintaining a much needed sense of humor with the guests and each other. They definitely earned their tips!

Terrible experience - It was horrible and Im a very easy person to please. We didnt do any of the things they say they were gonna do. We didnt see any animals, we didnt stop 30 minutes for the swimming part and they did not serve any drinks. Apart from this a woman was vomiting cuz the boat was very unstable and we were on a moving boat for 2 hours and 30 minutes nonstop. Very cold as well.

Stay out of here! - Not a single dolphin seen! We paid 86€ for two people. You best take your precautions because the hour sailing to the place where we should see them is at a huge pace. At least 10 people got seasick, wild sea and wild captain! After we returned, without seeing dolphins nor whales, we got a voucher, was not applicable as we left the day after. Fierce disappointment
