We had a memorable dolphin-watching tour. The tour was well organized. From the moment we set out, the friendly and knowledgeable guide made the experience even more enjoyable with interesting facts about dolphins and their environment. We were lucky enough to see many dolphins during the trip, and watching them leap and play in the water was truly magical.

The activity was very well organised and well run. We managed to see a whole group of dolphins and the guides knew what they were talking about and how to find them - very knowledgeable. Would have been good to know slightly more information and have more interaction with the host whilst on the water but it was a great experience.

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

We were very happy to spot the dolphins :) my daughter was extremely excited to see the dolphins and their calves ! I was only slightly disappointed we didn’t get to go to open sea :) Will definitely be coming back :)

I had a fantastic trip. Sailing on the speedboat was an adventure in itself. Pretty soon we saw a group of mama dolphins with their young. The guide gave the animals space and did not want to stress them. In the meantime, he kept giving some information, asking if everything was in order and offering water for those who were thirsty. I recommend it to everyone, but it is wise not to eat too much or too little beforehand, some pieces of sailing go up and down quite quickly.

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.

My Boyfriend Anil and I (Linnea) were yesterday at the dolphine tour. It was the BEST experience ever. For me it was a dream come true. The tour was great planned and the team is super nice. They knew all about the dolphines and the underwater life. Vanessa gave us a great introduction and knew all about it. All in all was it a perfect day and I would love to do it sometime again. 10/10 recommendation!!
