Marvellous Tour with Luis as our guide. We saw lots of different dolphin species. Behavior was respectful towards the animals. And don't miss the speedboat curves and turns, it is just fun! Thanks for this beautiful experience with Picos de Aventura.

joanna and joão (john?) on the 830am trip today were fantastic; excellent piloting even in rough conditions, and joanna’s knowledge and enthusiasm were so delightful. we saw 3 species of dolphin, a turtle, and a sei whale—they drove us out farther than normal so that we could see the latter, which was so appreciated. would definitely recommend these guides/this tour!

Luis and Joao were amazing, made everyone feel safe and have a great time, even those who got sick. The team went out of their way to ensure we saw whales and boy did we see a lot. What an adventure will definitely return and recommend!
