Beautiful, unique - Great tour! The experience is unique, we were lucky and we were able to see both whales and dolphins. They also offer a service that, in case you can not spot anything, you are given the opportunity to redo the tour at no additional cost. The staff was helpful and friendly, the skipper explains many things about the species that are sighted. To welcome us was Maria, very kind and very nice, made the experience even more beautiful! Super super recommended.

A tour not to be missed! - A great tour that the whole family would definitely recommend. We have seen three different dolphins. These were well described and given appropriate educational information. We talked primarily in English. But the dolphin names our guides knew in numerous languages. The guides were funny, funny and uncanny.

Successful observation with family! - A trusted company. The Naturalist Guide was very friendly, the skipper too! We saw dolphins and small whales very close, while respecting animals. We went there as a family with two children aged 6 and 8. The difference with catamarans is clear: you are a dozen on the boat and not a hundred, the animals approach the inflatable if they are players! Go ahead with your eyes closed.

Watchings of whales and dolphins!! - I just loved the tour, I had the opportunity to observe dolphins and whales right near the boat! It is a completely different perspective from any other boat tours! I was still sure that if we did not see dolphins they offered 2 trip!! The service was spectacular, the boat despite being in a semi-rich, the Trips was quite comfortable! For those who have never done this type of tour I strongly advise! Thank you all for the year I will be sure!
