Amazing experience! In less than 20 minutes, we were able to see several dolphins and pilot whales. I honestly didn’t expect to be that lucky! The price is really good and very competitive. During the trip, the boat will also park near the coast, giving you 20-30 minutes to enjoy the water if you want. I personally recommend it.

Thanks to David and Corrado, this activity was simply amazing :) short trip with kayaks to beach, then reasonable amount of kayaking in good mood and nice weather. Even though we weren't lucky enough to be visited by turtles, it was worth every penny.

The tour was not a trip to the beach, but a respectful interaction with the animals. Distance, no loud music like on other ships, great explanations about the animals, no chases. That was so impressive. Thank you

What a fantastic activity! Daniel was a brilliant guide, full of energy, humour and charisma. Good amount of time in the kayaks and in the water and fab dolphin sighting 🐬

Great value for money - toilets (men's toilet seat and lid missing) on the ship were borderline, of course can't be luxury
