our captain Pedro really knew their stuff and dolphins riding the bow for ages was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar boat trip we tried in Seville.

our captain Amani really knew their stuff and a hidden cove we anchored in to swim was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Great if youre not super fit, and stopped at 3 different bays, and booked it for my birthday. Would book again no question.

our captain Ingrid had so many stories and dolphins riding the bow for ages was the highlight ... Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Went last tuesday, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and about 5 hours on the water. Would book again no question.

our captain Joseph really knew their stuff and the little blue cave stop was the highlight. First thing in the morning so it wasnt too busy. Blew our lisbon one out of the water, and great if youre not super fit, and stopped at 3 different bays. Would book again no question.
