If you choose the 3-hour option the catamaran will stop in the bay of Playa Espagueti and you can enjoy swimming and snorkeling off the boat.

Thoroughly enjoyable trip with excellent views along the coastline and also incredible close up views of the whales and dolphins. The trip I thought was also great value for money, plus the staff on board hand out sandwiches and you can help yourself to soft drinks and beers. Highly recommend.

Really lovely experience. We very much liked the skipper’s mate/guide. Very friendly and full of information. Free drinks and a sandwich were offered. The catamaran was a peaceful way to sail out to see the dolphins and whales. We saw a. group of dolphins including a mother and baby and a pod of pilot whales. We then had a lovely swim and were able to snorkel in a bay. We enjoyed the music they played. It had us oldies dancing!

Very nice tour with small group (15 people). This gives you enough space on the catamaran. We found it very pleasant that the crew didn't talk all the time and gave you the freedom to enjoy the time. Only when we met the dolphins and pilot whales did they briefly tell us something about them. The crew and the captain give the animals enough space and turn off the engine again and again.
