Amazing trip with knowledgable marine biologist. Stunning cliff views from a smooth ocean as we went in search for wild dolphins. The team went out of their way and eventually we found a joyous pod. Trip lasted an hour longer so we could find the dolphins and spend time observing them. The tour started punctually, the boat was clean and comfy and communication friendly and professional.

We saw probably over one hundret common dolphins. It was an unbelievable experience. They swam underneath and next to us and put on a great show for us. The guides Gaby and Ian shared a lot of information with us and could answer any question about the marine wildlife. We were really impressed and would recommend the tour for everyone.

All in all it was a really successful excursion, we were able to observe two large groups of dolphins (even two different species) without it being a "hunt". The dolphins didn't seem to mind the bot. We were far out at sea and could even spot two sharks from a distance. Even if I'm not sure whether our guide was really a marine biologist, they had a lot of information ready. So I can only recommend this excursion.
