Furthermore, our guide Juan Carlos was simply excellent. His indepth understanding and ability to explain it was refreshing to say the least. His timing and professional manner is admirable.

4.00Saw a lot of dolphins( I mean a lot) , a whale family and mating turtles. Here is my issue: they did not have functional Lifevests for everyone. They probably had 2 functioning lifevests with 15 on board on a rough choppy sea. That really raises my concern about safety standards. On other note, not really their fault, but the sea in very choppy ( most of the time I think) and a bigger boat could have been more comfortable to ride on.
Amazing Swim with Dolphin experience

5.00This was such an incredible experience! We were picked up around 6:30 in the morning, then got a boat and went looking for Dolphins. All the similar tours work together to help find the Dolphins, and we lucked out and were able to find at least 500 Dolphins just swimming and frolicking together. Then they gave us life vests and snorkels and told us to jump in! The dolphins keep their distance but swim and jump around you. It was amazing. It also felt very respectful of the wildlife itself.
We had an amazing trip!

4.00Absolutely loved this tour. Unfortunately we were not able to find an English speaking guide and none of us knew more than very basic Spanish. We were able to still enjoy the trip and find dolphins, turtles and whales! What an incredible experience!
Must do in Puerto!

5.00Highly recommend! We saw 4 whales and hundreds of dolphins, so magical. The boat driver was very skilled. If you get seasick take tablets though, since it’s a bumpy ride. It was so beautiful on the water in the morning.
Great Experience!

5.00We we went on two tours with Eco Adventures - releasing baby turtles and Dolphin watching tour - both of which we greatly enjoyed. Efrain and his brother were fantastic at communicating about both tours and showed up on time with smiles on their faces. Very well run and reliable tour agency that I would highly recommend! The Dolphin Watching Tour was particularly memorable - we saw hundreds of dolphins, a whale and some large sea turtles!
