Visit of Dolphins - Great, our boat skipper Abel worked it out a lot. Until we saw the dolphins he kept looking. Amazing experience! I would definitely come back with them

Really enjoyable, attentive crew - Lovely experience. We did the sunset cruise 09/06/2025. The crew were absolutely brilliant, checking on everyone to see if they were ok, noticed a few people were feeling sea sick and helped them out, gave water to passengers that needed it, gave a coat to a child. Good entertainment. We saw loads of dolphins, no whales. On the way back in, the crew made sure that everyone got the opportunity to take photos at the front of the boat with the sunset. Also really enjoyed the champagne and cake we got at the end.

Amazing experience - We walked down to the harbour and the nice lady managed to squeeze us in on the next ride. We were lucky enough to c about 30 dolphins. They were amazing putting a show on. All the staff on the boat was amazing and u could tell they really wanted to find the dolphins for u. One member of staff was amazing with the kids. Well done to u all deserve a good review. Definitely recommend.

An incredible morning - We booked this yesterday - the man who booked this for us was friendly and informative. We said to each other on the way down to not get our hopes up about seeing dolphins - we were hoping to maybe spot a couple - we didn’t need to worry. The team that took us out were enthusiastic and friendly (the same guy from yesterday was also on board) We saw so many Dolphins. The man made sure everyone who wanted to could go up to the front of the boat so you could see the dolphins swimming alongside and jumping next to the boat. You can’t take phones up to the front - I assume this is for safety - however I’m grateful we couldn’t - because you are just in the moment and this becomes a memory that instantly ingrained. There is quite a few negative reviews on here but based on our experiences we had the following A safety briefing delivered in three languages The chance to see dolphins in their natural habitat Information about how you can tell the age of a dolphin based on its markings The chance to jump off and swim in the sea with life jackets if you wanted one We paid €35 euros each for this experience and we would do it again in a heartbeat

Right place right time :) - So many negative reviews, I imagine as the chance to see dolphins is lower in cooler times. We were advised May onwards was best, but later into the month is more of a chance to see. Went in with low expectations, saw hundreds. Fantastic fun crew, incredible $35 worth of an afternoon.

Disappointed - We didn't see Dolphins but we understand it isn't always possible. We had no information about the wildlife that the tour specifies we would get. No safety briefing. The "speed" boat was not fast. We chose speed boat rather than catamaran as we thought it would be bouncy and fun. Swimming off the back of the boat was directly outside the harbour.

Disappointing - On paper we went to see dolphins and a swimming break, it was quite different. A predefined route by the pilot who foolishly follows his GPS without looking for dolphins. 0 dolphins. We simply circled from the port offshore to the port, swimming was done near the coast but at least 20m deep. 0 swimming possible for children , we were 4 to swim, 15min timed swim before returning to port. Really disappointing if the dolphins are on our way we would have seen them if not no chance to see them.

Disappointing ☹️ - We booked this tour through our hotel and were not told that there was no guarantee you would see either dolphins or whales so really disappointed, the tour name is dolphin and whale watching mini cruise, so basically we paid €35 each to sit on a boat for an hour and a half. Total waste of money in our opinion.

Underwhelming birthday treat, no dolphins / no speed / no refund :( - Very disappointing 40th birthday treat for myself…. Booked this excursion over any other dolphin spotting tour due to the ‘speed boat’ but pls note if you’re hoping for a thrill seeking ride across the waves, you will be bitterly disappointed… the boat didn’t exceed 5mph the whole journey, extremely boring… and needless to say no dolphins spotted. Refused refund and left feeling very underwhelmed on what was meant to be a special trip! Pls make it clear to others that just because it’s a speed boat, doesn’t mean you are going to drive at speed!

Unhappy - Don’t advertise this as snorkelling when no equipment is provided. It states to bring a towel, costume, sun cream and comfortable shoes. It does not state to bring snorkelling gear. My daughter was upset! It should be advertised as a swim not snorkelling!
