We had a fantastic 3 hrs on a beautiful catamaran. There were around 20 of us on board. We saw dolphins!🐬 The guides were really great, very informative and relaxed. The swim time was fantastic as it was a really hot day, so the cool off was perfect. Highly recommended

Overall it was decent. It’s nice that there is only 15 people instead of 100 like many other tours. The “drinks and snacks provided” is misleading, it’s one drink and a 1 by 1 inch cracker with meat and an olive on it. We did see whales but never got close enough to have a good view as there were two other boats there and we were told 10 min max “near” the whales. After we saw the whales they seemed to stop trying to find dolphins or anything else. There was a short stop where people could swim for maybe 10 mins at most. Over all we had a good time because we love catamarans and being on the sea, but there’s room for improvement for sure.

We were made to feel very welcome and comfortable, the two staff members were friendly and informative. The only negatives were “ snacks included” was a tiny piece of bruschetta with meat and olives , tiny being 1 inch squared, hardly a snack. Also people were told they could have a swim in the sea, most went in but were called out literally 5 minutes later, hardly worth getting in for . Other than that it was very relaxing and we did get to see pilot whales 😃
