What a day it was! The whole family loved the experience: pick-up from the hotel on time, the whole crew is super friendly and knowledgeable. We were not sure if we would see wild dolphins during the trip but we really didn’t had to worry. We saw them several times during our trip thanks to our dolphins whisperer. We took so many amazing videos with dolphin jumping, crossing each other. We had food and drinks the whole day along. We highly recommend this trip!!!

Everything went fine. Saw a lot of dolphins and had the opportunity to take good photos. The return trip on the boat was great because there were still various sights to see. The return trip to the hotel also went well
