The office desk is in front of the boats in harbor where you will get your boarding pass. The trip went smoothly and people were well informed during the trip. We saw whales and dolphins, and also additional information of species were provided after the spotting. There are toilets and drinks available on catamaran. Overall satisfied experience!

We were greeted well and directed to the boat, staff were very knowledgeable and friendly on board. Refreshments and toilets were available. The sightings whales and domphins were amazing, something my children will never forget. Stafg also pointed out in a book which species we had seen on our trip with information about each. Would definately book again as such value for money!

Amazing! One of my best experiences travelling recently. After around 1 hour on the boat we came across a school of 6-10 dolphins swimming just a few feet from us. They were literallly swimming and playing under the catamaran platform, and you can lie down on a net above the water. Unforgettable way to spend the morning.
