We really enjoyed this tour. We were picked up by a coach from a nearby supermarket. Weather was glorious luckily so we had a fab time on the boat. 30 minutes into our trip we saw the dolphins. They Sean around for ages and it was incredible to watch. On our way back we saw a different species of dolphin by chance. They provided drinks and also stopped towards the end for people to have a swim. I suggest you take towel and costume. Also layers of clothing in case it gets cold as it does get windy. Finally they dropped us back by our hotel. All in all a really enjoyable day.

It was very easy to see the dolphins from all the seats The employees was nice and friendly and they did a great effort to find a lot of dolphins for us to see. They also spoke english very well and could tell about the dolphins we were seeing.

The whole experience was amazing, there is no words to describe the feeling. I could only recommend it, every time you go is a complete different experience. The ship's crew is very nice and they are all really friendly and helpful.

wonderful experience, nice weather and calm seas! we got to see two kinds of dolphins, maybe 80 of them. No luck with the whales

Great tour. Lots of respect to the nature. They are specialists for the Atlantic Ocean!
