Absolutely to do! - Amazing sea walk, meeting dolphins and visiting these magnificent caves. Comfortable boat. The captain and his sailor were very pleasant. They speak very good French and are very attentive. The little extra: perfect weather!

What an adventure - This tour was a real highlight.
My son could see poorly and was even allowed to the front of the boat and to the captain to see the dolphins properly. What a gesture. Thanks for that.
Very nice guide and picturesque view.
The motorboat inlay made everyone awake again. Very funny:)
PS. You should take some really thick stuff. At full speed it got pretty cold.

EXCELLENT! - Excellent service. Pedro and Justo are so nice, professionals, funny, and dedicated to give passengers a really good experience aboard. Thematic music, jokes, and resilience to show us the most wanted: dolphins!
It is the second time I ride onboard with Oceneye, and I really couldn't recommend more!

It was a fun thrill boat... - It was a fun thrill boat ride. Too bad we didn't see any dolphins but we had enjoyed the quick trip on the caves and the ride along the coast.

Very good company - Extremely friendly and professional people. The tour was not agreed in Spanish, but seeing that one person in our group did not speak English, they did the tour in Spanish as well. Highly recommended, good people.

Superb - it was great. We felt very good. We managed to see a dolphin but not for long. But we had a lot of fun. The landscape was dreamy.

Be Prepared for Quite A Thrilling Two Hours - This tour ( at least in December) is an adventure. You are on an 18 person raft that goes extremely fast to see the dolphins , which we did. There should be more warnings with this tour as I would not recommend it for someone who is not a seafaring thrill-seeker. We did see the shoreline caves but the seas were too rough to go through them. Fun and thrilling tour but know what you are getting into.

Bad experience - The beaches are beautiful, a pity how ugly the city is, dirty, the pedestrian gives pity, without a bath on the beach (they are charging you and grime), the sewers come down in the sand..a disgusting smell..mal the municipality.. they kill you with parking on the beach.
