What people are saying about Costa de la Luz

A well organized excursion, great explanation in two languages, various whales sighted. Not suitable for children under the age of 12 (swell, nausea, urge to move). The guides had to look after children and wipe away the "residual nausea".

Staff attentive and creating a good atmosphere. We were lucky and it was a fantastic day for sailing. We saw whales and pilot whales. An unforgettable experience!

We were at the pirate on Sunday the 21st and it was exceptional. We had a voyage full of sightings. Next time we will go three hours because it is very short

A great team. We had problems arriving. The team waited for us until the last minute. Thanks a lot for this.

Excellent pity that there is no translation in French
