Worthwhile tour - Interesting experience! The tour lasts about 2.5 hours, first you drive along the coast and see some spots worth photographing (a grotto, Cueva Candelaria...), about which you also get information. After that we could see dolphins, later also short-finned pilot whales. The crew is very dedicated to delivering the promised dolphins and whales. The highlight is definitely the lower deck with stained glass windows from which you can watch the animals underwater - was not our first dolphin safari, but this experience has not yet been able to deliver a boat. Highly recommended! Quick note - only drinks are included, there was no food.

Beautiful walk with whales - Lovely and the crew didn't stop until they found whales for us to see in their natural habitat. One pass and I recommend it to everyone to come to the Palma, mandatory!

The best side trip - The boat trip was beautiful. The guides have explained well in German, English and Spanish. We have seen many dolphins and also you ride into the cave was impressive.

Out of 10. We saw dolphins and calderones - Great. Very attentive staff always giving explanations with great interest. We loved seeing the cliffs, the PorĂ­s de Candelaria, the Veta beach and entering the beautiful cave. Unforgettable. But the best thing was to see the dolphins, flying fish and a family of calderones. Out of 10.

Recommended route. - It is highly recommended POR areas DE la Isla inaccessible by foot or EN car: Tajogaite volcano EN la costa, Cueva Bonita, PorĂ­s DE Candelaria from the sea... EN regards to the sighting we had NO luck: flying fish, a fleeting turtle and shark... The sea and its animals are NO mathematics. Kids like Fabrizio and Captain David, very nice and dedicated.

Recommended - Very good guidance of a palmess in excellent German. Informative and interesting insights into the 7 new craters. We were lucky to have a clear view that day and not to hang in a cloud (as is so common this year).

Dolphins finally - Finally the wife and kids got to see dolphins in the wild to larger family pods came to join us. Tried in Egypt and UK to no avail. 2 little words of caution. Bring tissues or baby wipes theres a toilet but on our trip no toilet roll might have been a one off.... With kids we where prepared and able to help a poor sole out. Also on the very front bench you may get a tad wet if the wind picks up, but as long as you don't expect a boat trip to be completely dry, it is the best spot to see the dolphins.

A lost morning and a lot of money thrown away. - The biggest scam I remember, usually these tours are already loose anywhere, but this excursion is a shame. I make a brief summary so that before choosing whether or not to perform it, interested persons can judge it properly: 1. The beautiful cave you see 30 seconds, enter, stop and exit in reverse. Besides, you don’t see anything because the time to enjoy it is at sunset something they know more than enough but it takes you a moment to say that they teach you. 2.In Poris more of the same, you see it from afar less than a minute, in fact here the boat does not stop. 3. On the beach of Veta repeats operation, they bring you a little closer, the boat does not stop and you leave, even though they promise a stop for the bath, as we were told in the information booth in the port, you take the disappointment that there is no stop or bath, regrettable. 4. 2 hours of cetacean watching in which nothing is seen, but nothing more than people dizzy and vomiting from the foolish driving of the boat. To that we must add that the interaction of the ship’s personnel is minimal, neither a cultural explanation nor a comment, in short an absolute joke, to be clear. The best thing about the tour is that it ends, you get off the boat and you can start forgetting the experience. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE, A LOST MORNING OF OUR VACATION AND A SPEND OF MONEY THAT CAN WELL BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF IN THINGS THAT ARE WORTH THE PALM.
