A M A Z I N G Definitely do it! - Wow, what a trip! It’s a 2 hour boat trip from the marina, past Benalmadena running parallel, so we spotted our hotel! We saw dolphins, it was amazing. On the way back the children were allowed to be ‘Captain’ and drive the boat. On board has drinks and snacks which were not over priced, a friendly crew who answered any questions. Our trip had a group of Dutch people that supplied entertainment of dancing and singing on deck! It was a fabulous trip costing 19 euros per adult, 12 for a kid and worth every Penny.

Dolphin spotting - This was something me & my mum experienced & it was amazing, small pod following a fishing boat & to see them up close was stunning. Even a mum & youngster. The crew were on constant watch for the pod & when spotted we were warned we were short on time but they made allowances. The kids were allowed to drive the boat back which was something lovely to see

Dolphins spotted - After we were out of the harbor for a few minutes the crew saw a dolphin. So immediately went to the front of the boat, and a few minutes later we saw about 12 dolphins, swimming under and next to the boat! This group stayed with our boat for a long time. And later we came again to a group of dolphins. Constantly next to and under the boat, very close, great! Highly recommended this boat trip!

A beautiful afternoon - A beautiful sea trip, aboard a large catamaran. Thanks to a friendly and very attentive crew we met the dolphins. A great time! Comments are in Spanish, English and French. A cool and not too loud soundtrack accompanies your route. Good value for money for great memories. Special thanks to the lovely lady from the front desk who picked up our camera from the terrace of the bar next door

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! - Amazing experience, were warned by the crew upon departure that we may not be able to see the dolphins as it was expected to be very choppy waters and the weather wasn’t great but the crew did everything they could to try and locate the dolphins which resulted in us seeing them! They were fantastic to see in their natural habitat and I would recommend it for anyone, there were places to sit inside and outside of the boat, the staff were fantastic and polite and ensured that everyone including those with children, pushchairs and walking sticks were safe and that the boat was accessible for everyone’s needs meaning every person was able to enjoy the experience

Outstanding Dolphin Sightseeing boat tour - After a recommendation from a friend to use this sightseeing tour we weren't disappointed it was a lovely morning, the crew were very friendly and we saw two different species of dolphin, the Bottlenose and Common dolphins. It was such a relaxing experience and well worth the money spent.

Very nice! - Great! Considering the sea was quite rough, there were practically no dolphins in sight, but hey, the three swimming there were beautiful to see! One is constantly looking with binoculars to spot dolphins. Very friendly and funny staff, puke bags were handed out for free and believe me, there were some who needed it 😉 We went away for about 1h45 so it was definitely worth the money! They also take pictures of you, which you can buy later for €5 (size 13x18) Definitely recommended!

Good boat trip despite no dolphins - You have to exchange your tour email/voucher at the little office booth next to the boat before joining the queue to board. Also if you don't see dolphins they give you a discount off another tour to try again. Was still a nice ride down the coast to Fuernigola and there are refreshments available to buy on board. Don't expect any extras like history of the coastline and references to landmarks along the way. This is just a boat ride, with a small amount of dolphin info.
