So many dolphins - As a family of 4 including 2 teenagers we all had a great time. After leaving the harbour it took about 20 minutes till we came across about 20 dolphins which we were able to observe for a good 30 minutes. Stopped off for a swim on the way back. The guides were great too.

A daydream - Fantastic and very well organized trip with Lanzarote Sea Tours. Although at short notice they found us a place and we could make a wish come true, see a pod of beautiful dolphins, a 60 ina of specimens, swimming next to, under and in front of our boat for about twenty minutes with several young in tow. Our Guide, Carolina, was delightful and engaging. We hope to return to enjoy with them also the beautiful islands around.

Wonderful few hours at sea - ● Friendly staff but you must book ahead ● Saw lots of dolphins over about 30 minutes and staff ensured that everyone got to see them ● Tour completed in five languages ● Great opportunity to swim or snorkel near the coast ( not with dolphins) ● We would do the trip again ● Came with 9 and 10 year olds

If ur on a budget then it's ok - Wasn't as good as I expected, didn't see dolphins (not guaranteed thou) they started looking for them through binoculars 5 mins b4 they turned the boat around b4 that they was just looking no binoculars, one guy just seemed moody the older one was better but didn't really translate much to us ..had a quick swim, but no snorkling equipment was given.. Wasn't told anything about marine life Was okay but I wouldn't do that one again Positive was boat was very clean and had toilet on board too that was also clean

Exciting boat ride but no dolphins… - Very rough sea as windy and difficult to spot any dolphins so we didn’t sea any but we did see a small turtle which was lovely but as we were motoring not for long! As it was rough the part where we get to swim/ snorkel also didn’t happen. However the crew tried to make it enjoyable and the atmosphere was upbeat. I booked through Tripadvisor but they had no record of my reservation.

Dolphin boat trip - We unfortunately didn't see dolphins (fully appreciate it can't be guaranteed). The trip was otherwise very fun and enjoyable. Small things to note: No snorkelling gear was offered to us as we thought we had seen advertised but we did get chance to swim in the sea. Staff were helpful. Announcements could have been a little slower and clearer as I struggled to make out what was being said at times. The trip was safe and timely. Clean toilet on board.

A glass-bottom catamaran ride that in the end wasn't one ;-( - I booked the trip on Tripadvisor. Unfortunately, the information there is not entirely correct. Later, I read other information about the trip and the price on the operator's direct website and then came to the conclusion that I would not have booked this tour like that. Tripadvisor mentioned a glass-bottom catamaran trip. There was only a trip in a normal speedboat with lots of seats. The excursion locations were also misleading, because you could only see the places from a distance during the trip. Well, and dolphin sightings are not guaranteed anyway. Of course, we didn't see any. That was it. The supposedly English tour turned out to be more of a Spanish or French tour. The staff were really, really nice and helpful though. TIP: Make sure you take binoculars with you Booking directly on site is cheaper, because with 4 people we would have easily saved €36.00.

It was ok - Boat ride was nice , saw a pack of dolphins for a few mins , but then the boat went too close and scared them away , as for the “snorkelling” we just stopped outside the harbour and jumped in for a swim with no snorkel or anything! Nice thing to do but definitely not worth the money !

Not value for money - Didn't see a dolphin, 1.5 swings on a boat for this money is absurd. Overpriced, not value for money. If the sea is a bit wilder, snorkeling is also not possible

Not worth money!! No dolphin... no speed... just a splash. - No dolphin sighting! If only speedboat wasn't on speed. Splash of 10 min for the port ... 30 euros per person is expensive for just some quiet sailing at sea and small splash. Not worth his money!! Everyone sorely disappointed!
