Aug 20264/5I had a pleasant boat trip with a fun holiday atmosphere, although I did not see any dolphins. The company did not provide snorkels, so I recommend bringing my own, but I still enjoyed swimming in the sea. The 1.5-hour experience seemed reasonably priced. I would wear a swimsuit, bring a towel, and eat beforehand.Jun 20264/5I enjoyed the trip, although the sea was choppy and the swimming stop came after about 50 minutes. I felt the snorkeling description was misleading because equipment was not provided. I briefly saw around 10 small dolphins or possibly porpoises, but we had to rush back onto the boat and had little time to change. Overall, I found it acceptable value, though the swim and wildlife sighting were too short.Jun 20264/5I had a good trip, but I did not see any dolphins. The crew made a genuine effort to search for them, and we stopped near the coast so passengers could swim and snorkel.SSylwia D
FamilyVerified bookingJun 20265/5Great experience! We've seen so many dolphins jumping around us! Thank you 🙂Apr 20265/5I had an extraordinary experience with warm and welcoming staff, and I saw approximately 15 to 20 dolphins. The boat moved somewhat, but I considered the trip manageable even for someone who can feel seasick.
