Great excursion, very scenic and informative guide. Lots of hair pin bends on the whole journey. Pick up in the morning was a bit chaotic, I think a photo of where we were to meet would be helpful as there was another entrance. Another driver who picked us up in a car was a bit rude. But apart from that minor mishap it was a great day. Thanks

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

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.

Great guide. Begonia is a caring people oriented person. The driver, Valentin was very skilled and professional.
