Nice sea trip. - Beautiful sea trip, the Catamaran is comfortable and the duration is three hours. Two outings a day, toilet on board. Drinks and snacks can be purchased on site. Beautiful sea walk, we saw dolphins (from afar, because this species is not the most curious) A stop for swimming is planned, and the boat poses to take pictures. The budget is very reasonable (35 euros per adult) for the whole service. To do absolutely.

Holiday fun - Fantastic Crew, very informative on the mammals in the sea with a very informative booklet. Any wet areas they immediately cleaned up. We got to see two types of wales rarely seen.

A beautiful morning. A great program with kids. - Started at 10:30 hours, we saw dolphins in two locations, as we arrived early (20 minutes before they opened the doors) we stayed right where we wanted, in front, to catch the fresh and the wave (a little, but refreshing), after seeing the dolphins still had a beautiful diving under the Cape Girão and we came back in a peak. 5 star crew, it is a pity there were never snorkeling glasses - except if they bought - but we already knew that and we took ours.

If you want to see dolphins… - Amazing- so relaxing - two pods of dolphins swimming so close you could have reached and touched them - crew respectful to the rules on time with pod .

Great Crew, Great Time - First off, I appreciated this tour posted as a catamaran first and then an opportunity to see dolphins etc as a secondary. Won me over because you can never be certain you’ll see anything. Jon and crew were awesome, super friendly and made for a really enjoyable afternoon. Highly recommend!

A must (if the weather seems to be good)! - It was amazing, we had the chance to see the dolphins really close! We also saw the waterfalls falling into the see and the weather was so good that we also got a beautiful tan and enjoy the whole experience! The crew and the captain were really kind and friendly and the boat is really confortable. Just check the weather (and cross your fingers because it can change really fast) because I think it wouldn’t be so enjoyable if it was raining, cold, windy or cloudy!

Amazing experience! - The crew were welcoming and professional. Good safety briefing then off we went for the afternoon sailing. What a marvellous way to spend 3 hours, with team members explaining which dolphins or whales we might see. They also shared some traditional Christmas biscuits and liqueur. Amazing experience!

Mega! Incredibly beautiful trip - Highly recommended! Went out under full sail... without an engine. We saw dolphins and whales. The crew was super friendly and attentive. It was a real experience. OK... no orcas on this tour (we already had them with Born), but great as always!!!

Great for dolphins. Could be more time for swimming. - The tour is good if you are willing to see some dolphins or just want to chill in the boat. There is plently of space and there are spotters looking for dolphins. I would not recommend it for people who expect to swim a lot or do snorkeling. It is really short time for that. And not everybody feels like swimming in the deep waters.
