Fab day from start to finish. Jose met us at the harbour with 6 others. The boat was beautiful & so clean. Items (bags, shoes etc) are left downstairs in the living quarters and the fun is had on deck. Jose explained the day to us all & then sailed in style. Jose told us where to look for the dolphins & whales, explaining how all the boats out at sea communicate with each other should any be spotted. We stopped near the bay to swim in the sea / sunbathe on deck then delicious tapas were served - all tastes were catered for - veggies & meat eaters. There were drinks (alcoholic/non-alcoholic) a plenty throughout the day, either help yourself or Jose served. Amazing experience, we will definitely book again (directly with Flounders). Note: we were told to meet outside the Restaurant Cofradia so we paid for a taxi there. However, Jose had collected the others from their hotels, one being next to ours! Check with the guide/Skipper in advance. Jose drove us back - thank you.

From the moment we were picked up from our hotel it was an excellent excursion. Really friendly, attentive staff. Boat was not too big and had everything on board that we needed. Scenery spectacular and we saw some dolphins!!! Well worth the time and great value.

Trip was very good, unfortunately didn’t see any dolphins or whales etc, the captain and team were all very good, entertainment was great and captain spoke various languages to accommodate everyone. Should definitely be a part of your Fuerteventura experience.

Really enjoyed this trip. The boat was fast although this meant we got wet from the spray. It took a while to find sea life but we were privileged to see a group of dolphins. We also made a swim stop for those who wanted it.

Lovely relaxing boat ride. Has a toilet aboard and the host gave unlimited beer, water or Pepsi. Host and captain were very nice
