unfortunately it was cancelled the first time, but luckily the second day we could join another group. it was a dream come true to be this close to dolphins. They are really respectful to the dolphins and don't force them. We even had the luck to go three times into the water!

It was incredible, if you want to have a REAL experience with Dolphins, this is the right way to do it. You go to the open sea where they are, you go there with a professional biologist who know about their behaviors, and they let you jump at the sea at the right moment to try to see them inside the water. Even the boat trip to get there are funny. For me was an incredible experience. Worth it.

Futurismo company and our team, thank you for these emotions! Today I swam with dolphins for the first time! What we had: useful instruction, a place where you can leave your clothes, professional equipment, small group, fast boat, many dolphins very close, excellent professional organization of the whole process, hot shower and tea after the tour. Margarida (biologest, guide), thank you for your instructions, support and tons of interesting information about dolphins! You inspire! Thank you for allowing us to dive several times so that every person in the group could see dolphins! Miguel (skiper), the way you drove the boat through the waves today was an adventure of its own! I had great fun) Thanks to you we saw dolphins so close! And also you showing us beautiful rocks on the way back! The guys were willing to put in as much time and effort as necessary to give us the best results and experience. I can fully recommend Futurismo and these guys. Thank you! With love, Iryna
