Wonderful trip - Meeting place details need updating- didn’t see “Captains Nest” which was where we were supposed to meet.
Other than that this was a great trip. Very friendly & helpful staff, speaking good English. Lead guide had some very interesting information about the dolphins. We saw a group of at least 10. We followed them at a distance & they also kept coming back to us. Lead guide said they monitor closely the dolphins manner & look for signs of aggression or avoidance. They swam very close to the boat & certainly weren’t avoiding us.
It was a windy & drizzly day, but the captain found a sheltered area for us to use a slide off the boat & swim. We also saw interesting caves.
We had a snack of a fruit kebab and a cookie which was just enough. Drinks were available to buy.
I would definitely recommend this trip

Worth it! - Brilliant day - found several dolphin pods and really enjoyed watching them in their natural habitat. Also liked the bit where we just anchored and swam in the sea near the caves. All in all great experience.

I RECOMMEND 100%!! - Wonderful experience. I’ve been in a couple of different boats that have the same “dolphin day” and this one was the best one i’ve ever been on. Wonderful staff!! They approach really really close to the dolphins!!

Walk of dolphins - I loved seeing the dolphins, the boat approached the dolphins carefully and the staff is really 5 stars. They have bar and give in the cookies and fruit including us on the trip. Another of the best parts was sliding and jumping into the water, always safe. I recommend and will come back again as soon as I get

Best dolphin watching experience - Such a fun experience! We saw so many dolphins so close! They were coming right up to the boat! Our toddler also had a great time and was very well treated by the crew. Definitely exceeded our expectations and well worth the money. Snack provided was also lovely and time for swimming, water slide off the boat was lots of fun too. We had the best time!

Great trip - Great trip, professionally run, nice staff, comfortable boat, delighted to see dolphins and hear all about them. They got the inflatable slide out after and moored up just outside Lagos in a sheltered spot and we had a fun swim. Delicious fruit kebab and pastel de nata. It was a bit rough coming back but it nothing too scary.

Highly recommended activity for dolphin watching - We have been able to see very well the dolphins for a long time, which have been swimming in front and next to the boat. The boat ride has been very pleasant and the people on board very friendly and attentive. The time to jump into the water from the boat and from the slide has also been very good. I highly recommend Discover’s activities, it’s the third year I’ve done any of its activities and I’ve always really liked them.

Relaxing trip at sea in search of dolphins - At the gate in the harbor, everyone was welcomed and then escorted to the boat. A welcome chat followed and we left.
We were lucky that the weather was very nice and wind force 1 so the sea was very flat.
The boat sailed at considerable speed at considerable distance from the coast, but with a view of the coastline.
After more than an hour, a large group of dolphins was spotted and 1 shark.
We were allowed to enjoy that for a very long time (compared to previous boat trips in other places) and got a lot of useful explanations about these animals.
When the captain indicated that it was time to sail back, the catamaran turned and sailed a bit close along the coastline so that we had a nice view of that too.
Then anchored and allowed to swim. An inflatable slide was even set up.
As a keen snorkeler I was very much looking forward to the swimming area, but the water was so murky everywhere, even closer to the rocks that there was barely 50 cm visibility and because there were so many small tour boats sailing up and down the coastline it didn't feel safe to snorkel or swim at that place.
Even in late season, the total coastline is extremely busy, but of course the tour operator cannot do anything about that either.
Had a very nice, fun trip. Very friendly people and a neat, practical catamaran.
