Well informed tour guide with good language skills and excellent knowledge of the marine life and of the island of La Palma. The tour was well organised and suitably regulated for safety . All together a very worthwhile expedition which we can highly recommend to others . We actually had good sightings of several species of whales and dolphins in addition to an informative approach toward the volcano ‘ delta’ on the coast and tour of the cliffs and sight of the cliff dwellers towards the north west of the island .

The tour with Lucy was really spectacular! We were very close to the crater of the volcano and not only saw some amazing things, but also got some very interesting information. The tour, which lasted about 4-4.5 hours, was very entertaining and even our children really joined in and found it very exciting! I can only recommend the tour, it was a very special and unique nature experience! Thank you for this great day!

Everything went very well, the explanations and the treatment of the guide (Angel) were perfect. I recommend this activity if you are interested in knowing a little more about what happens after an eruption.
