Review of Lanzarote’s 1.5-hour dolphin boat tour from Puerto del Carmen, with wildlife watching, coastal views, and an Atlantic swim.
“This tour exceeded expectations! They went above and beyond looking for dolphins and we got super lucky and managed to see quite a few. Very lovely lads who run the tour - super accommodating and let us sit at the back on a makeshift seat as our seats we originally had weren’t very good as the boats wall was obstructing the view. Recommend 100%! Swimming, dolphins and a lovely boat with a lovely team! P.s they also were playing sea shanty’s which was quite amusing”

Review of Lanzarote’s Lobos Island dolphin trip, with fast boats, wildlife watching, picnic lunch, swimming, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Amazing experience from start to finish! Staff were amazing so friendly and knowledgeable about the wildlife, as well as speaking multiple languages. We were so lucky to of seen so many dolphins so close to our boat which was just amazing, we also seen lots of flying fish. Labos island was beautiful (comfortable shoes needed and I recommend water shoes as lots of rocks). Picnic was lovely. Definitely recommend this trip!”
Review of Lanzarote’s 2-hour dolphin sunset sailing cruise, with mojitos, snacks, hotel pickup, sunset views, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Had a lovely trip. Only gave 4 stars as couldn't hear the commentary (the opposite of what others have said in their reviews). It was a cloudy evening so we didn't see the sunset but the catamaran was lovely with lots of space for all to sit. We saw lots of dolphins and also a couple of whales. We enjoyed a mojito on boarding bit didn't try the food as we had eaten a little earlier on shore. It was windy - we took hoodies and did wear them once we cleared the harbour. Very nice way to spend 2 hours.”

“Pudimos ver algunos delfines moteados de camino a lobos y algunos peces voladores a la vuelta pero ninguna explicación ni animación por parte del personal de la tripulación ni tampoco bebidas ni snacks como publicitan.... Una bolsa con un par de mini bocadillos de pan molde, tetrabrick del mercadona de gazpacho, lata de cerveza (ni siquiera te preguntan si alcohol o no), botellin de agua y yogurt bebido y listo.... Dos horas para ir, dos en isla lobos que te buscas la vida y dos para volver... Aburridaaaa”

Review of Lanzarote’s silent catamaran whale and dolphin trip, with hydrophone, conservation focus, small groups, snacks, and practical advice.
“Booked this trip last minute as I really wanted to see the whales and dolphins and the advert made it seem special. The boat was clean and well kept and the crew friendly and informative. We sailed out a long way and with the sea breeze and sun disappearing behind clouds quite often it did get a bit nippy out there so best to take layers in case you need to wrap up at times. Snacks and drinks were offered throughout the trip which was fab and we managed to catch the spout of a Brydes whale at one point on the way back. No dolphins seen unfortunately. I was…”
