We saw a lot of dolphins. Unfortunately only 4 people were able to get into the water and then had to get out again quickly because there was a risk that a large whale might be nearby. That would have been too dangerous then. At the end we were offered some money back because we couldn't all get into the water. The tour was still very impressive.

Very nice crew. We had heavy swell which made it more difficult to find the dolphins. But the search continued until we found some. A great experience and a lot is explained. In addition to spotted dolphins, we also saw grint whales and a very rare monk seal. Great trip!

The best experience of this vacation - no, of all vacations! Indescribable! So many dolphins, also seen underwater, for so long, so close to us. Magical, beautiful! Our guides went out of their way to give us this experience and we were out at sea longer than booked! We also saw pilot whales.
