Great experience, saw lots of dolphins very close to the boat. Captain and crew had a great sense of humour which added to the experience. When we booked we missed the booking option of a local transfer pickup but we were able to pay the extra €7.50 each on the transfer bus so no problems. Would highly recommend.

It was really great! We saw an incredible number of dolphins. Unfortunately, both my girlfriend and her two kids got really sick because the boat rocked a lot when we were standing there to see the dolphins. But that has more to do with our seaworthiness.

I didn't know that there are 3 stops where people can get onboard. If you join at the last one, you can get an additional 30min of sleep.

The crew was nice and funny, sangria was amazing and we saw dolphins!

Such a great trip to do, staff were lovely had such a good experience
