Mandatory stop in La Gomera highly recommended - It has been a wonderful experience, the boat was very well cared for and we have been able to see many different animals and fish and both Captain Carmen and Fatima and Cuchu have treated us very well and taught us a lot of the sea in the Gomera. We recommend 100% that on your trip to La Gomera, the excursion with the Pura Vida Boat would be a mandatory visit.

Had dolphin! - Lovely trip by 2 professionals. No whales, but hundreds of dolphins and sea turtle. The sea was expertly spotted. A sea safari!

Sighting of cetaceans - Exciting cetacean watching experience!! We get to see dozens of Atlantic dolphins (speckled). It was difficult to find them although Fatima finally managed it with her special "smell" and her falcon sight. In fact we were followed by a couple of sighting ships that took advantage of her talent and that of Captain Carmen (they form a great binomial and that is transmitted to the customers). The music they accompany when they manage to connect with the group of cetaceans is very successful and already back to port serve a good snack. Exciting activity and high success rate!

A transformative experience with pure life - Thanks to Carmen, we got a last minute booking and it was simply unforgettable. We saw speckled Atlantic dolphins in full navigation, accompanied by music and Fatima’s special connection to the sea. The treatment of the team was very attentive throughout. Fatima offered us technical and precise explanations, demonstrating deep knowledge and, above all, great affection for animals and their environment. Every detail is taken care of: the Picnic, the Music, the Mood... And Cucho, the team dog, a total charm! An experience full of respect, awareness and beauty.

Excellent excursion - The perfect excursion, the small but flawless boat, even the dolphins came to see us!, but what I want to highlight first of all is the treatment of those two women who make you feel like you know them forever! They live up to this island and its islanders (although they are not from here) have been “glued” the sympathy, hospitality and affection that give off the gummers. I will repeat!!!!!

An unforgettable experience - It was a beautiful and surely unforgettable experience to go on the 4 hour boat tour with pura vida. Everything was right. Dolphins accompanied the boat to romantic music, tears streaming with emotion. The explanations were in English and Spanish. The boat is well maintained and very welcoming. You feel safe, even if it's quite rocking. Children get a life jacket. To the toilet you should better before driving in the port restaurant, which is no problem. The warmth of Carmen and Fatima is stunning. Wishes are granted. Whether you would rather go sighting or make the swim stop. Questions will be answered readily. Booking is made easily via WhatsApp and payment then cash on site. If you arrive a little earlier you still have the opportunity to watch rays and fish in the harbour basin. Now decide whether the tour takes place in a large glass bottom boat or with pura vida. Holidaymakers told us that they had no dolphin or whale sighting with the bigger boat (Tina) 2 days before.

Positive experience despite scarce sighting of cetaceans - After a long wait, we managed to see a family of rough-toothed dolphins passing by us and under the boat. The truth is that we didn’t have much luck until that moment but both Carmen and Fatima tried their best (and actually extended the trip, in time and distance) to get the encounter with the cetaceans. The boat is very comfortable and, being for few people, the experience is much closer (to people and animals) than in larger boat companies. The treatment was very good and I can only put as negative the long journey time in search of cetaceans, which escapes the organization itself so it is not really a mistake but part of a contact activity with the wild

We leave without seeing cetaceans - The treatment, attention and explanations very well...but we did not see any cetaceans (in fact they already warn that there is a 90% chance). But the duration they advertise is 3 to 4 hours, and after 2h they stopped looking, and before 3h we were already in port again! Another time, in the Azores, in case you didn’t see cetaceans you were offered a new free try the next day. At least they could have taken us to see the cliff of Los Organos (which appears on the web)
