Dolphins were amazing there were a huge amount. Make sure you get to your pick up time with plenty of time. TUI say get there 15 minuets early our pick up slot was 8.30 we were there at 8.13, our bus was just arriving. It left straight away, whilst travelling I noticed there was a couple stops where we waited a minuet or two and no people go on. On the experience, take lunch! When it says ‘drinks’ it means at the swim stop only. Snacks very expensive! No real food available. Staff very lovely!

Na een klein uurte varen werden op afstand de eerste walvissen gevonden. Om begrijpelijke reden zijn we niet dichtbij gevaren. Een tijdje later een groep dolfijnen van dichterbij gezien. Er mooi en indrukwekkend. Hierna een tijdje gesnorkeld, nadat we nabij de kust waren stilgelegd. Weinig vissen onder water gezien, maar het was een verfrissende duik. Ondertussen was er gratis frisdrank en water aangeboden, en voor een kleine betaling bier, wijn en chips. Al met al een aanrader!

Une très belle expérience, avec une organisation parfaite du début à la fin, une prise en charge efficace et sur le bateau, un personnel aimable et serviable, très compétent pour donner des explications sur les mammifères marins. Les enfants ont été admiratifs des poissons volants qui ne cessaient de sauter à l'avant du bateau. Cerise sur le gâteau, nous avons pu longuement suivre une bande d'une douzaine de dauphins. C'était magnifique. Je recommande.

Wij hadden de toch met een uurtje snorkelen, dat was ook erg leuk. We werden getrakteerd op een klein glaasje honingrum. Tijdens het snorkelen is de bar open voor gratis frisdrank. Wij hebben genoten!

Amazing experience the guide was really helpful, nothing to much trouble, the experience was amazing at one point over 100 dolphins swimming around the boat babies included, swim stop, refreshments, allowed to smoke and a toilet included, directions to the transport back to the hotel. The driver on the way there came to find us as we were waiting the wrong side of the road, so we didn't miss the experience, a lovely morning out, well worth the €39 for what was included.

Expérience incroyable. Les personnes à bord sont très gentilles et ont même essayé de parler français pour nous! Ils cherchent réellement les dauphins afin de nous offrir la plus belle expérience possible. L'arrêt en mer est très bien et la possibilité d'avoir des boissons gratuites rajoute à la sympathie de l'accueil. Peut-être prévenir que les snacks sont payants et qu'il y a la possibilité d'acheter une photo souvenir.

Väldigt lång båttur för att se delfiner. Trodde det skulle vara bättre information om hur det skulle gå till. Vi åkte ut 1,5 timme, vände och åkte 30 min till sen kom delfinerna. Badstopp och sen åka in till hamnen. Dom tog kort på alla som klev på. Villa ha betalt för dom korten. Höj priset och låt dom ingå vore bättre förslag. Kändes so en onödigt lång båttur för att se delfiner.

We hebben ook veel prachtige foto's gemaakt van de blauwe lucht en de witte wolken die in de zee weerspiegelden. Het was een zeer aangename reis. Een echte aanrader..

Poor communication about what to expect. When booking we said we wanted to swim and booked Saturday morning. Confirmation voucher said bring swimming gear. Email from TUI said there wouldn't be swimming as we were going in the morning. Checked with TUI rep and she said if we wanted to swim we needed to change to the afternoon as there's no swimming in the morning. We stuck with the morning, didn't take swimming gear and had 30 minutes wait on boat while others went swimming.

Die Mitarbeiter der Tour waren auch freundlich und haben sich große Mühe gegeben die Delfine zu finden. Es war ein großartiges Erlebnis die Delfine und auch die fliegenden Fische in Ihrem Element erleben zu dürfen. Jederzeit gerne wieder. Was ich schade fand, das es keine Übersetzung auf Deutsch gab. Durch die lange Delfinsuche war leider nicht so viel Zeit fürs beobachten der Tiere.
