It was an extremely nice experience! Biologist Vanessa is super nice and told us a lot of interesting facts about dolphins! Even my son, who normally gets bored quickly, had a great time and wasn’t bored at all! So I fully recommend this experience!

Little kids can get sea-sick, other than that, it was a great tour.

It was a real disappointment because this tour should have been cancelled due to bad weather. There were no other boats operating on the same day because of rough seas. Yet we were taken out only to turn back abandoning the entire experience.

Amazing adventure, the crew was so lovely, funny and professional. There were so many dolphins swimming around us and even a whale in the distance. We've had the best staff ever, big thanks to them for this experience. Everything was perfect and totally worth it. Dziękujemy!

The welcome is very friendly with some explanations given by oceanographers on the most common species of dolphins in the region. The boats are recent and fast. The small tour towards the monuments of the city at the edge of the river (after having seen the dolphins for an hour!) gives a different view of this district. The team is cheerful and available to people. To do without hesitation!

This was one of the greatest things I have ever witnessed in my 28 years on this planet. Our guides were very knowledgeable and told us the type of dolphins we might be able to see before heading out onto the river. We quickly found a pod of nursery Common dolphins where the guide took us up very close which was incredible to see. We then ventured into the ocean where we met a pod of 60-70 bottlenose dolphins. Amazing. They got so close to us and even played with the boat. This was 10000% the best thing we've done on this trip. Highly recommended

I LOVED this activity! It did not disappoint. I read a lot of reviews before booking this tour and was very impressed that it said 95% of the time, dolphins and other wildlife were sighted. Our boat driver was Francesco, and he handled the boat carefully and had some fun with us while driving. Our marine biologist guide was Vanessa and she was full of great information. We were very lucky and got to see a few different pods of dolphins, with babies and mamas. We heard our boat communicating with others as to where the wildlife was and that made it much easier for our boat to find the dolphins in the wild. I HIGHLY recommend this tour to everyone if you are into marine life, and seeing animals in their natural habitat.
