We had the most amazing time snorkeling. From the moment we arrived the team were welcoming and you could tell they really enjoyed their jobs! We were given a structured introduction and they ensured all the kit fitted appropriately and everyone was comfortable! We were well supported with 3 staff members between 7 of us and even had the option of purchasing photos at the end which they took of us under water! Would definitely recommend.

Very friendly crew on a perfect trip. The captain (Salvador) knows what he is doing and showed us the way to meet dolphins and pilot whales. He provided us with a lot of interesting information and with his knowledge, he was able to answer all our questions. Also Dani was very friendly and took good care of us by providing us with refreshments, snacks and lunch. For all six of us, this was an unforgettable experience!

It was honestly a once in a lifetime experience. I would definitely recommend trying this particular trip, as it is much smaller and intimate (group of 8) and our captain 'Guy' was very knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We were also fortunate enough to catch Dolphins and Whales that day, as well as capturing the picturesque scenery along the coastlines.

Very knowledgeable and helpful skipper. Saw several dolphins and pilot whales. Great boat with nice drinks and snacks. Highly recommended for a more intimate experience.

Brilliant, magnificent, too much to see, too good super. Having tickets with the time avoids too much waiting.
