Wonderful nature in its element! - Nature cannot be planned and guaranteed to turn up but we got lucky. Seals at Pope’s eye and dolphins following us back towards Sorrento made for a wonderful trip that took in sea birds along the way.

Best 90 min cruise you can do - This cruise was the best thing we could have done. We travelled with our 5 and 8 yr old kiddos. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Be sure to make your way to the front deck to enjoy the most of this cruise.

You’ll enjoy it - What a great team on board. No guarantees here folks, but these guys went above and beyond. And we saw dolphins chasing the boat.

Nothing special - Too dear for what it is. Didn’t see any dolphins. $300 for 4 of us for 90 mins. Wouldn’t do it again.

No dolphins, but plenty of seals & gannets - Unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins on our tour. We were taken to a spot where the seals & gannets live so we did see those animals. The speaker system on the boat did not work well so we could not hear what the guide was saying . Nice enough boat ride but I wouldn’t go again.
