Fabulous experience. Nice boat, great staff, simple itinerary. Very pleasant, would recommend it: spending a bit more than the 'floating bus' tours is totally worth it.
Best trip by far

This was an amazing trip. The crew were super friendly and helpful - we had Maggie, Francisco and Nico our captain. They couldn't do enough for the guests and when we saw whales and dolphins they gave us loads of interesting information about the species, their habits, and their habitat. A small boat with a small number of guests was perfect to see things and not feel left out. Would highly recommend!!!
Great afternoon at sea

Wonderful afternoon on a beautiful catamaran. We were really lucky to see a large pod of Pilot Whales. The crew on the boat were very attentive and knowledgeable about the sea life. A great day - would definitely do it again and recommend to everyone.

This is the best boat trip ever. Fantastic staff, a wonderful boat, only 16 passengers, delicious snacks and drinks. Every effort was made to make sure we saw dolphins and whales. We cannot recommend this highly enough.
Excellent value

Excellent, well worth the money . Plenty of room on board, drinks and snacks included. Others are cheaper but the boats are crowded.
