5.00The whole experience was great with great staff. From Sandra at the sales desk to Ricardo the guide and Antonio the boat skipper. A lovely way to spend a morning, on the ocean with the bonus of watching a large pod of dolphins up close. Thank you!!
Amazing!

5.00Antonio and Ricardo are two competent sailors, enthusiastic and reassuring. Indeed they absolutely wanted us to be able to see Dolphins... and we saw them. It was not won but what a happy meeting! And even for dessert, a minke whale came to join the dolphin ball; the final bouquet. Thank you both. Their joy was sincere. We will remember that.

5.00A truly fantastic experience seeing multiple pods of dolphins! Our captain Ricardo and his colleague Andre were fantastic. Super friendly and informative. The trip was supposed to be 2.5 hours long but ended up being 3 hours as we saw so many dolphins even on the way back to the port! Would highly recommend this trip with this company.
Perfect sevice

5.00Very proactive customer service prior to the tour, very friendly and accommodating During the tour, our guide acknowledged the customers on board were much more excited and in awe to see the whales in the area he had taken us to instead of the dolphins we expected to see (we also saw hundreds of dolphins) Our guide was very knowledgeable and made sure to explain to all passengers (in English, French and Spanish) the species we were seeing and facts/the tendencies of those species too. The crew onboard made the whole experience fun, engaging and added to the emotional experience of seeing whales in the wild. I highly recommend.
Exploring Faro at sea.
