Unique whale experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Beautiful experience! We got very close to the animals in this small fishing boat, we didn’t scare them! They swam up to us and seemed curious about the boat, swam around and under it. We really appreciated the 2 hosts who are very engaged in animal rights and knowledgeable about all the different whales and dolphins in the area. Warm recommendations! Thank you so much, and continue the work for animal rights! Nanna & Steve

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

An unbelievable nice tour in a very small, former fisherboat - only 10 guests on board. Nicole was a very compassionate guide, really loving the sea, all animals and her job. We spotted one turtle, several dolphins and pilot-whales (indeed, bigger dolphins themselves). They are very, very senisitive dealing with the animals - only 2 boats allowed at the same time, motor turned down several times to not frighten the animals. BEST TOUR.

Great experience and worth it.

Very nice trip. The guide was able to tell us a lot about the sea and the animals. When we saw pilot whales en dolphins we really took the time to enjoy the animals, instead of rushing back. I had a lot of fun. Very nice that the boat and the group weren't too big, it was very personal. Good organisation.

Whale watching

Published on Oct, 2024

The whole whale watching experience was very good. We saw a lot of whales, some having a baby with them. We were given drinks and little snacks on this trip. The boat stopped for a while giving people a chance to have a swim if they so wished . We were on the boat for about 4 hours .

Great trip - highly recommended!

Great trip! Very friendly and informative guide and captain. We saw bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales. Small boat (only up to about 15 people) and nice pace so can take some time to relax in the nice weather! Guide spoke English, Spanish and German so very versatile!
