A magical experience! - We absolutely loved our trip out to see the dolphins! We were so lucky to see a super pod of dolphins, a mink whale, two porpoises and four sun fish. It was a magical outing and the team were so knowledgeable and friendly. Our kids (6 and 8) loved the whole thing - especially the speed boat ride!!

Dolphins Up Close and Breathtaking! - Incredible experience! The staff was very knowledgeable about the dolphins and their behaviors. We were fortunate enough to find a super-pod feeding. Would book again and highly recommend the Mercedes Benz Oceanic Team.

Perfect for adults - We were not very lucky and only saw common dolphins, the other species decided not to appear. The animals are very respected, not to approach, not to invade them... very well. I do not recommend it for small children, our 7-year-old did not reach the floor of the raft with his feet and struggled to cushion the shocks of the sea, he became a little overwhelmed.

Title: Encounter with dolphins and blue shark, with an exciting, passionate and professional team. - First warm welcome. Joao was so careful to translate everything into French. We thank him for that. Then after extraordinary escape to meet the dolphins, so close to our boat, as if they accompanied us. True moment of happiness. Nice emotions. We also saw a blue shark. Thanks to all this professional team and especially to the passionate, exciting and warm Vanessa who was our trilingual naturalist guide. Well done. A BIG THANK YOU.

Dolphin speedboat trip - There was excellent communication from the team. We saw lots and lots of dolphins. It was a very special experience. The marine biologist on our trip and the skipper were both knowledgeable and calm. Our boat had flat battery and they were in communication with the other team who then came to our rescue. The way they dealt with this was commendable and did not adversely affect my experience. We were given lots of details about dolphins before and during and after the trip. This was a five star experience. The tour also included stopping at a couple of land sights with historical information. Would highly recommend.
