We went on the 27/2, we saw dolphins and several groups of pilot whales, some with babies. The guides explained everything during the trip and warned about the location of the animals. There was even a break for diving. Friendly staff and lively atmosphere, with music during the trip. It was a great experience.

The tour was amazing! Not overcrowded and you could see whales and dolphins ❤️ I love the idea of “no chase”, these animals are so curious that they are coming so close to the boat and I was so happy to see them free in their own environment where they belong :) highly recommend!

Amazing trip, lovely staff! We managed to see the dolphins and the pilot whales, two happy kids ❤️

Everything was very good. Staff were amazing speaking multiple languages. Definitely recommend

Fantastic must do experience, friendly and knowledgeable staff!
