“Went on this trip with my partner for her birthday. We were welcomed by the captain and his co-captain who spoke English without problems. After a while, we saw some birds fishing and headed in their direction, this was our lucky chance to see dolphins up close. All this while relaxing in a ‘couch’ in front of the boat, relatively private without any interference from the crew. More wine and an amazing sunset made this the perfect break from a long and hot day.” - Reviewed on 2023-10-08
