It was really great! We saw an incredible number of dolphins. Unfortunately, both my girlfriend and her two kids got really sick because the boat rocked a lot when we were standing there to see the dolphins. But that has more to do with our seaworthiness.

Really great walk. Pleasant staff. Simple but good barbecue. Access to paddle and kayak not enough compared to the number of participants. The only black point, some tourists believe that everything is allowed and do not respect anything.

Beautiful places. A very relaxed tour with an excellent guide. I highly recommend. The right time to see everything and feel the atmosphere of the places to which they take us. One of the best trips I've ever been.

Very nice ballad at sea with the dolphins at the rendezvous. We had a disabled person with us. Very pleasant people. We will keep very good memories of this small group getaway. I recommend.

A really great day at sea Nice break for swimming and diving in a lovely cove. Amazing views of the cliffs
