The crew then starts their search for dolphins and whales, and any other marine wildlife, using binoculars, doing their best with their experienced eyes. During the trip, our qualified crew will give you detailed information about the species of cetaceans you are seeing as well as other technical and historic information to ensure a complete and unique experience. Enjoy the astonishing views of Lanzarote´s coast or relax with a swim in its crystal clear waters and feel the snorkel experience.

5.00We did this tour today.There were 3 staff on board but the Captain was Teddy.Other reviews have stated there were no dolphins to be seen,so we didn't hold out much hope. But the staff soon spotted a pod and headed in that direction. They reduced the engine and for a good 30 minutes we were surrounded by the pod who were circling and coming close to the boat in a playful manner. After the dolphin interaction we headed back toward the harbour but stopped to allow people to swim off the boat.The staff were very patient and caring toward the children onboard. All throughout the trip they took time to explain the types of dolphin,whale etc in the locality as well as some local history. The money spent on this trip was extremely reasonable considering the staff interaction and the dolphin pod they found,and I would have no hesitation in recommending this trip and company to others seeking a trip on the sea.
Good short cruise

3.00The trip was fantastic. The crew was very friendly and told a lot. The swimmer was nice and in a nice place. Only...... no dolphins, no whales, no turtles or whatever. Of course that is a great pity, because that was the purpose of this trip.
Offshore walk

2.00It’s a boat ride offshore, you go to and from Puerto del Carmen, before you reach port you stop and you can swim, but it’s not a really special place, the water very transparent and deep. Very complicated to see dolphins in 50 min journey. I wouldn't repeat.
Disappointing

2.00The minicruiser had good potential, but the experience was quite disappointing. The organization was bad, especially with tickets for the two boats and their different routes, which generated a bad Mood among the workers and punctuality when it came to leaving. We couldn’t see dolphins, and we didn’t enjoy the bath either, as due to bad surf they canceled that part without giving any explanation or alternative. Overall, the Service needs urgent improvement in organization, communication and customer service.
Boring

2.00Boat was clean. The experience was a Such a bore. we made our way out to open sea looking for Dolphins in a leisurely way. After 45 mins no luck. Fair enough it’s not guaranteed and that’s fine but it’s supposed to be a speed boat when after no sightings the Captain could of given us some thrills by opening the throttle. But no he decided to cruise along the coast. The ferry was quicker over to Calero. Don’t waste your money it’s embarrassing.
