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

Stunning sunset - We booked this excursion via a ticket office, it was sold as a 2 hour sunset dolphin cruise with meal and drinks priced at €50pp including pick up from nearby locations to the harbour. We set off with the guide briefly explaining we may or may not see dolphins. After an hour or so we struck lucky and were treated to a magical display as a pod of dolphins swam beside and in front of the boat for quite a while, jumping and diving as if they were putting on a show for us! We then sailed back to face the oncoming sunset, the meal turned out to be a small piece of sponge cake accompanied with a glass of cava! Overall, it was a fantastic evening for us. I would’ve given 5 stars but the cake and cava didn’t quite cut it.

No frills - just a boat ride - We had a no-frills ride in a high powered boat with a swimming opportunity at the end. The crew was polite but offered no information about the trip, surroundings or wildlife and didn’t offer binoculars or equipment to watch with. We didn’t see any dolphins, but that is nobody’s fault. The experience is limited - some way short of the trip description. The swimming stop was a mooring a couple of hundred metres outside the Puerto del Carmen harbour - it met the promise of open water swimming, but you could swim from the shore with a similar experience for free. If you want a ‘cruise’ with entertainment, this is not for you. It’s a better choice if you want a no-hassles skim across the ocean to feel the wind on your face and a dip at the end. 3 stars because it’s not quite as described. Bring your own snorkel.

Dissapointing - There was some confusion as trip advisor said about logos pass,that wasn't needed . We departed for on time , went out for 37 minutes , they looked through binoculars for a few mins and turned back around. The swim in the water was 20 mins , but the boat was floating away from the swimmers ,so not good if you're not entirely competent. The ride back was against the wind so very choppy and bouncy , the most entertaining part ! It was alright as a boat ride but wouldn't bother if you have your heart set on seeing dolphins . There was only 4 bits of information given about Lanzarote . So not many facts of that's what you're more interested in .

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

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 !

Zone of money and time. - Zone of your money and time. Really sorry. The woman who went to spot the dolphins did this in front of the boat without binoculars and used her hand as sunglasses... very unprofessional. Eventually no dolphins seen. The boat didn't go fast either. Before the port you could enter the water. Folks, just don't do this, spend your time elsewhere.

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!
