Plentiful dolphins on a fab tour! - A fabulous tour, there were 6 of us on a boat (our family of four and two others), so not crowded at all. The boat moved at a great speed, which afforded us some very fresh sea breeze on a very hot day, which in itself was divine! Captain Bisil (I think this was his name) was very friendly and offered a large coolbox of water and juice cans, plus a bowl of fruit. We swiftly found a pod of dolphins and got up fairly close, then moved onto other areas to see more and more - the sea seems to be teeming with them! We saw jumping tuna at times too! Overall, an excellent experience with plenty of dolphin spotting in the wild, and we even saw a turtle in the harbour on return.

Loads of dolphins to see - Very good experience and saw lots of dolphins. Had some difficulty finding Q Tours when arriving at the marina. We arranged for our taxi to pick us up after the trip which proved a good move as very few taxis available at the time.

Trap for tourists - 1. It lasted 90 minutes, not 120 minutes, 25 per cent less than stipulated. Of course, I was charged 100%. 2. In the dolphin area, just 30 minutes. Or put another way: 25% of the activity was to try to see dolphins, the remaining 75% was not. That's hard to see them... 60 minutes went from here to there, seeing the coast, which is nice yes, but I paid to try to see dolphins, not to see the coast and the beaches of the hotels. I wouldn't repeat. The sea was white (this is not the fault of the tour operator), but that it lasts 25% less than stipulated YES.

Don't recommend - The most boring and uncomfortable 2 hour boat ride I've ever taken. We saw zero dolphins. It is not worth the price at all.
