This is the 4th time I’ve seen the show now, 3 In Lanzarote and one in the uk and they still don’t disappoint. There was new material in the show I saw this time and it was brilliant as always. Laughed from start to finish. Food was good. Souvenir photo and booklet included in the price as was transfers which made it excellent value for money. Would ready anyone going to see this. Put your sparkly outfits on!!

Where do I start?!?! This was AMAZING!!! We were of course lucky enough to see so many dolphins and it was INCREDIBLE. The guides were friendly, funny, engaging and wouldn't let you miss a thing if they spotted something. We then got a few slices of cake and cups of Prosecco and it was a very picturesque evening.

we have seen beautiful places in Lanzarote and spend lovely day. Everything was well organized. However, we would apprixiate if we could spend more time in individual places.

A great night with very talented performers. Food is all you can expect for money paid, drink cheap and service exceptional

Very good tour guide. The nature experience speaks for itself
