Overall, we enjoyed the trip very much. The return trip close to the shore was very nice. The guide shared some interesting info with us during that time. It would have helped to have some signage or have the guide meet us as we wondered around quite before we found the tour. The boat did not have comfortable seating with only two small seats with backs and the rest of the people had to sit together on a big square seat with no backs. A more comfortable boat would have made the trip more enjoyable.

das war ein genialer Ausflug! Wir haben die Delfine sofort gefunden und sie hautnah sehen können. die Guides waren sehr nett und haben einige Infos zu den Delfinen gegeben. Anschließend ging es die wunderschöne Steilküste entlang und an einem kleinen Strand gehalten und konnten dann bei Snacks und einem Drink entspannen und etwas schwimmen gehen.

Magnifique excursion ! La chance était avec nous : un temps superbe et une mer calme. Le guide et le pilote sont très accueillants. Peu de temps après notre départ, nous avons pu observer depuis l'avant du bateau une trentaine de dauphins qui sautaient autour de nous. Puis nous avons longé la côte, pour observer les falaises, les grottes et des plages quasi secrètes. Nous avons jeté l'ancre dans un endroit magnifique où nous avons pu nager dans une eau turquoise. Un très beau souvenir et un moment magique pour les enfants ! À refaire sans faute.
