The activity was great - we were lucky enough to see some pilot whlaes very close to the noat, and we even had the opportunity to swim in the sea for 30 minutes. The ship wasn’t too crowded. The crew was friendly, but didn’t share much explanation about the Ildlife. Anyways, it was a nice boat trip for the afternoon!

We had a brilliant tour. It lasted for just over 3 hours and we were lucky enough to have a sighting. The departure point was easy to find. The crew were friendly and engaging and were happy to answer any questions we had. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience I would strongly recommend to anybody considering a tour of this kind. Our tour left about 20 mins earlier than the stated departure time, so definitely follow advice and arrive at least 30 mins early. Furthermore, the advert states a cash deposit is required for snorkelling equipment, but not how much (30 euros). This would have been useful to know beforehand as we didn’t have enough between us for us each to have a set.

Would 100% book again. Got lucky and say dolphins/whales I believed 3 times. I was at the very front right of the boat, so I wasn’t really able to hear, but I did not care. It was a great cruise, soaking up the sun, watching the wildlife. It was wavy a lot, so I took an anti-nausea (Dramamine non drowsy) beforehand because I get nauseous easily), and it helped a lot! Beautiful tour. Definitely worth the $.
