“A great experience! Turned up 30 mins early which was a good idea as a bit tricky getting into the provided wetsuit but once ready, went on on the fast boat and very quickly found a pod of common dolphins. We had several opportunities to get into the water and got to see the dolphins passing close by the boat. All felt very safe and really enjoyable see these beautiful animals from the boat and in the water.”

“We hebben een geweldige dag gehad. In de ochtend hebben we de whale watching gedaan. We hebben de Sei whale en twee verschillende spermwhales gezien in het gezelschap van een groep spoted dolphins welke met ons mee zwommen en speelde in de golven van de boot. Daarna kregen lunch en konden we op adem komen. S middags zijn we met een select groepje wezen snorkelen met de bottlenose dolphins. Op de terugweg naar de haven werden we nog ingehaald door een vliegende vis.”
