This sea trip was a real pleasure. I booked the day before with some preconceptions about some of the comments. In fact, everything was perfect. There were maybe fifty of us on board but we didn't feel like there were that many at all. We were very comfortable. The staff was very pleasant, smiling and did everything to ensure that the passengers had a good time. We were extremely lucky to see a large group of dolphins up close. The captain followed them for a while when they were playing in front of the hulls of the catamaran. A very moving moment. We also saw a whale from quite far away. The music was only played when the dolphins were absent and at a reasonable noise level. The meal was good. Thank you again for this unforgettable moment.

Very nice day at Oasis Park - very well-kept and clean facility with lots of animal shows. The parking lot is close to the entrance, the enclosures are clean compared to other Spanish zoos. It is being renovated and built - great. We spent a nice and eventful day at Oasis Park.

Great service, very good atmosphere. Our captain took us to the Dolphins. Good quality meal like the wine. I recommend
