    Nice, relaxing boat trip Tour was great! Saw dolphins, a sea turtle, and some pilot whales. Also the area for snorkeling was quite nice, not too much to see but still some nice groups of fish.

    Amazing, 100% recommended I can't praise Daniel and his team of professionals both in the office and at sea. We too a trio with a crazy Irish man on his yacht. Food and drink provided. Most important thing was the respect this man had for the dolphin, whales and turtle we say. It was the most amazing thing ever to see these majestic animals in their own environment absolutely amazing. I was like a child. Couldn't recommend these absolutely professionals. 100%.
