Yeahhh see you next year - Was really fantastic, and was my 4 year old daughter's first holiday and boat trip. When we saw dolphins, the holiday could not go wrong. We really enjoyed it. Duncan the employee who guided us this trip did great, also with small children. Thank you and hopefully see you next year

Amazing experience - Amazing trip the staff were lovely and we got to see hundreds of dolphins would say though if you suffer with seasickness dont do it as it can get very choppy but we loved it thank you all

Perfect experience - We've been on a beautiful cruise. Seen a lot of dolphins. Also kudos that they care about the animals and kept their distance. On the way I took plastic out of the water. Nice crew very concerned with their guests on board.

Upbeat boat trip - Would have given it a 5 but we were some of the (very) unlucky ones who didn't see any dolphin or whale (just some supercool flying fish). Staff on the boat were great - kept trying for us. Would advise arriving early to get a good seat - and getting anyone with sensitive tummies to take sea sickness pills (mild swaying on boat but one of our kids felt rough). Otherwise great - with a gazillion languages spoken too.

Persistent guides, didnt go home before we saw some whales - Very nice. We didnt see any dolphins or whales for the first couple of hours, but our guides extended the tour (for free) until they found some. Good thing we had already payed for extra parking. 😆 Incredible experience to see the whales in their natural habitat, and through the glass bottom in the boat.

Nice walk to locate cetaceans - We took the 2 hour experience, no dip. We were lucky because we didn’t have to go too far from the coast to see many dolphins, I think the mule type, which are usually submerged. They accompanied us for a long time. We saw some element or other, but good. Sometimes you barely see anything. The best attention of the staff who were explaining, accompanying us, and even shared photos and videos made by them to better enjoy the experience once finished.

Nothing more than a promise - Nice boat, nice promises to maybe see dolphins and whales - of course without guarantee, it's nature we're talking about. Cool crew - always trying to keep up the good mood. What was the glass bottom for? We asked when we could go down and were procrastinated till never. Maybe because half of the boat was seasick and puking. You should give out the fotos for free in case you don't see any dolphins or whales.

Insecure - We arrived with a wheelchair on the boat. There was no special space for the wheelchair but it could hold in the middle. It was neither tight nor anything. It became quite high and the waves sprayed into us. There came an employee and helped us somewhere else on the boat so we didn't get wet, but again the chair wasn't safe, and tipped as the boat bended. We were again directed to the other side and helped over on some seats and got some blankets. When the trip was over we were offered a voucher for a new trip as we had not seen any animals, but it was so unsafe an experience, so we thanked no.

Less than 10 minutes looking for dolphins/whales. Pointless. - Very poor. 2.5 hour trip. Took 1 hour each way on the boat, looked for dolphins/whales for less than 10 minutes and then left to head back with a 20 minute stop for a swim. Saw 2 dolphin tales. Waste of time. Pointless experience and don't advertise that looking for wildlife would be so brief. Essentially a boat trip. Customer service afterwards apologised but were dismissive - they offer this trip daily so they must know the timings are too short.
