Great Experience

Published on Nov, 2024

Amazing experience and great tour guide who always had a smile on her face! Our tour guide also managed to rescue a turtle who had gotten caught. All in all great trip!

Very successful dolphin watching

Published on Nov, 2024

It was excellent! We found four groups of dolphins, two species in one of them. This company has spotters with some good spyglasses on the land who direct the boat to where they the animals are. In our case it worked great.

Simply amazing

Wow, what a trip. Went out today with Filipe and Joana absolutely amazing. Saw a pod of about 30 pilot Whales followed them for about an hour. Waited as they dived then reappeared. Captain stayed a very respectful distance and allowed them to come to us which they did. Great trip would definitely recommend.

Incredible adventure with lots of activity from whales and dolphins

Absolutely fantastic tour with well educated guide and driver and fantastic service. Have been on this with Ventura several times, and every time is an adventure

Beautiful experience!

Published on Oct, 2024

We did the whale and dolphin tour with the shared boat in the morning. The communication was well arranged in advance, the staff was nice, a good sturdy boat, and you had plenty of space to take photos or videos yourself. We were lucky that the weather was beautiful and almost no waves. After 20 minutes we already saw short finned pilot whales swimming which we could watch well. We were in the middle of a large group and were able to enjoy them for a long time. We were able to make nice videos and photos of this because they came so close. Later we left the group alone and continued looking, but it stayed with this group. I would also recommend this boat trip to others, although of course you have to be lucky with the whales and dolphins, it remains nature.
