From the moment we set off, it was clear this was going to be a great trip. Our guide Angela was knowledgeable, attentive and fun to be with. We sped out of the dock at full pelt which was exciting, but soon becomes second nature. As a warning, it does get very cold at sea at 6pm, so bring warm clothes to layer into just in case. If you forget, they provide blankets which was a life saver. I thought that we might see dolphins if we were lucky, but it turns out they know exactly where to look and we quickly found a pod. We stayed watching them until we couldn’t stay any more - that was incredible in itself - I had never seen dolphins in the wild. Then it was time for the caves which were so different and beautiful. They went to great lengths to ensure we went right inside and around where possible. The driver deserves a medal! Then we returned back into the sunset with a glass of wine! The whole family, aged from 12 to 84, loved it. Would highly recommend.
