Such fun ! Lovely speedboat tour - Fun trip out ! Staff were helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. The speedboat went fast and there was a few splashes which we really enjoyed ! Unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins </3 but to be expected as cannot guarantee. Great trip out!

Dolphin experience - We came across a pod of Dolphins jumping and diving under the rib. Such an amazing experience. We were warned that sightings could not be guaranteed but we were very lucky and were surrounded by them.

Dolphins, waves, fun and coast - After about an hour of sailing on the sea we actually saw dolphins. It was magical. The next hour's drive along the coast was very cool. We discovered beaches that we later visited by car. Overall a very good tour

An Espetacular Passio - An incredible experience we were able to observe dolphins as well as some deserted beaches and caves but above all with the kindness of the team who took care to tell us anecdotes, and point out details of the coast AT THE TOP 👌

Great trip, definitely worth it! - Really lovely trip, very informative of the local area and interesting sights along the coast. The guide was really lovely and friendly, he spoke multiple languages so was able to translate his talk to everyone. The boat goes quite fast and so was a little chilly at times even though it was clear blue skies, the guide did hand out little red wind breaker jackets for those who needed it but i would definitely recommend maybe taking a long sleeved top or jumper. We were really lucky to have seen a pod of dolphins, including many baby dolphins which was so magical. Thanks for putting together a great trip, I would definitely recommend anyone to book it 🫶🏼

Nice boat trip but…. - Very friendly staff, unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins, that's the game, but we would have appreciated a commercial proposal to do another outing. Damage…

Don't do it - unsafe! - Even though the sea conditions were dangerous with waves of many metres high they still decided to run the trip to avoid having to issue anyone refunds. Money before safety with these guys. I have a ski boat operators licence so I'm not unfamiliar with the open ocean. On the day the boat was airboard off the top of waves, children were crying and my wife had a panic attack. Everyone was drenched. AVOID if you value your wellbeing!
