“A very enjoyable activity, the pick up and drop off was incredible. The boat was clean and the guide explained through everything perfectly. We did spot dolphins on our trip there which was a bonus, this can’t be guaranteed as you are out looking for wild dolphins however they communicate with other boats so the chance is increased. The swim in the sea was also lovely and you get to swim around the boat. Highly recommend.”
