Enjoyable, interesting and informative. - We were very lucky as a mum and her baby dolphin came near to our cruise. The whole experience was enjoyable and the staff were very informative, even down to the staff member at the booking shop. Just one thing needed and that is an outside speaker at the back of the boat.

Fab trip - reccomend for families! - This was a great experience! Friendly, helpful staff at the office and gift shop. Boat arrived right on time and was boarded promptly. Matteo (skipper) and Leigh (commentator / guide) were friendly, funny, and very good communicators. The safety briefing was thorough without being long and boring. We saw dolphins pretty quickly, and I appreciated the respect that Matteo showed them by waiting for the dolphins to come to the boat rather than chasing them. Leigh is very knowledgeable about the local area, bird life, and the marine mammals and clearly has a passion she wants to share. It was interesting learning about the canals and seeing the houses from a different perspective. At the front of the boat, there is a kids station with a steering wheel, bell, and telescope. This kept the kids on the boat happy for a long time as they all waited with their parents to take turns. There is a toilet and bar downstairs. However, we ended up not using either. A great experience overall, thank you! 😊
