Pedro is a very experienced guide with beautiful stories and a lot of information about the trip. Also a joke every now and then. We spotted a huge group of dolphins and a nice tour along the caves. You can also take a dip in the sea along the way. For those who find it important, there is a toilet on board and soft drinks and water can be bought. This trip is definitely worth the money!

The experience was great from start to finish. The captain Pedro and his colleagues were brilliant - really informative and funny and make the effort to make it a memorable experience. Visiting the caves was really fun and we were really lucky and saw several dolphins. It was the perfect balance between the two aspects of the trip and was a really fun experience!

The very nice crew and everything super controlled both in placement according to the needs of pregnant women, children and other passengers, very clean and very attentive. Only one complaint but not their fault, that we did not see dolphins which was what my little daughter wanted, otherwise everything was fine. Perhaps they should make a discount for large families, we are 5 and it is expensive. Thank you
