Delicious high-quality lunch. Pleasant atmosphere, discreet music, wonderful for relaxing - The half-day island boat tour met more than our expectations. The family-run business was the best boat trip we ever had. It is highly recommended 🤣

Lovely trip would go again - Great tour, very well cared for and good food and drink. The commentary could have been better, but would happily go again in the hope of dolphin or whale spotting.

We saw dolphins! - A great family business. We were picked up from out hotel and taken straight to the port to board the boat. There is plenty of comfortable seating on the 2 decks some of which is in the shade. We cruised out to sea until the crew spotted dolphins which were the Atlantic spotted species and spent time watching them. We then cruised back to the coast and anchored in a sheltered spot where we could swim. The lunch provided was really good, tuna, pork or chicken with rice, potatoes and salad. There was unlimited beer, wine or soft drinks on offer too.

Got to see Dolphins 😀 - Fantastic day out all the crew are great any questions you had they could answer, found the dolphins so stopped so every body could see and they explained what type of dolphins they were and what there feeding on. Lucky to see some young dolphins playing , went close to a village moored to have a swim and lunch which was very good also plenty of to drink then a bit of site seeing along the coast back to the port . Highly recommend .

Vacation mode: on ♡ - It was a really good trip! The pickup service was very nice. We saw some dolphins and pilot whales. The lunch was really good and we had a full hour to swim in a nice place and enjoy the lunch. I booked this trip for just me and felt very comfortable during the whole experience. The crew is friendly and respectful towards nature. Some people got seasick, but the crew was very relaxed and helpful. You had multiple options on the boat in terms of where could sit. It wasn't too crowed. Lovely experience!
