Booked a day in advance. Unfortunately, I didn't see the mail from the provider and therefore didn't notice the pick-up point from Maspalomas in time. In the previous it said pick up hotel between 9 and 10. Coupling was 0850 at a hotel which we could not see in the mail and on the map. With the taxi to the port, after that everything went smoothly. After boarding the boat, water activities such as jet skiing and parasailing were offered. We opted for the jet ski. Unfortunately, the rush was a bit large and coordination was a bit difficult. Stay at the reef about 70 minutes. Dolphins were also sighted and swam with the boat. If you are looking for a reef with corals and a colorful variety of fish, this is unfortunately not the place for you.

Very interesting! Worth all the money. We saw many dolphins and even some orcas!!!Found out many stories about Puerto Rico, Mogan, Taurito and other wild beaches. For the snorkelling the water confitions were not good, but we enjoyed the swimming close to Perchel beach

Super service! Got picked up of the bus just around the corner of the hotel. Saw whales and dolphins as promissed. Good service onboard (free soda and water). Free snorkling gear and lifejackets for the small kids who can not swim. Very good service overall!

Absolutely incredible boat trip, the staff were informative, friendly and entertaining and the dolphin watching exceeded expectations. By far the best boat trip I've ever been on.

Had an enjoyable trip the captain was very friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome.
