Wow this activity was really amazing. We saw short finned pilot whales and got to swim and snorkel! The crew were absolutely amazing, 10/10 service and lovely food and drinks! Couldn’t recommend this enough! Thank you :)

We had the best time with the VIP dolphins team and would book again tomorrow (if they had space). The team were great; the snacks and drinks were delicious, nothing was too much trouble and it was a small group so you had plenty of space on the boat.

This was exceptional!! We’ve been on a few catamaran trips like this one but none of them were as good as this - it completely blew our expectations. For the staff, to the snacks, to the chilled out atmosphere, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. I would go again!
