Very friendly captain and crew. Great boat trip. Make sure you have enough warm clothes and are ready to be sprayed by water. The ride was very choppy and we had to hold tight. It would not be advisable to eat before the trip. Most enjoyed the trip - lots of "Whee! Woah!", one passenger was ill though. We did not see any dolphins and due to sea conditions could not go near enough to see caves. This was in February. Overall a great experience.

Good welcome and support at the quay and on the boat, one of the guide o top, he spoke good French, It was "sport"! Good waves to go wide, we saw the dolphins and go along very beautiful cliffs and caves (not too much inside for safety reasons, surely because of the swell...) Small downside: the pollution of these boats that we imprint, especially in summer with 1000 people to transport per day....) When will there be more responsible energy for tourist boats...,...?!

Overall a nice day on the boat at sea and along the coast and caves. We went on the trip first week of Jan unfortunately no dolphins and the sea was a little choppy / rough. Ideally you want to be sat on the seats that face forwards, we were sat on a bench seat that wraps around the bow of the boat. Good position but it’s a little uncomfortable as you either put your feet up and face forward or face into the boat.
