I went on this amazing trip with my husband and my two boys (4 and 6). If you arrive early, you can secure perfect spots right at the front on the stretched nets and have a great view of the dolphins swimming and jumping in front of you. Even though it was only the end of May, I was able to go swimming; the boat stopped near the shore for about 30 minutes. They have free snorkels and goggles available to borrow, and life jackets for children, too, although we didn't use them. The view of the coast was also magnificent, but we were also very lucky with the weather. Definitely recommended!

It was hard to find OnTales and we never booked via chechyeti. So it was a little kind of an adventure for us and we were keen on waiting fornthe confirmation as we booked in the night for the next day. Next morning confirmation via email, WhatsApp with details and call from the office. Couldn’t be better prepared. Whole team (land and water) was great. We had a lovely experience with OnTales. Thumbs up. Highly recommended. Wildlife cannot be predicted for sure. But our intention was more to have fun with the family from the shore and see the beautiful island from water. Some animals showed up. But as said. Truly amazing experience with tons of professional fotos beeing made of us. Thx again OnTales. You rock. (Super nice and friendly, super clean serving drinks with gloves, handsome to older handicapped passengers, changing planned routes on customer demand… list goes on). We will be back soon.

The tour was great! We watched dolphins at the Jahd and jumped quickly over the waves. However, you shouldn't have a problem with speed.

We highly recommend the sailing tour. During the three-hour trip, we saw dolphins and even a turtle – a real highlight! The boat is very beautiful and well-maintained, and the atmosphere on board was pleasantly relaxed. We especially liked the small group size, which made the tour even more personal. The crew was super friendly, attentive, and looked after us very well. They provided interesting information about the animals we saw, and swimming in the sea was also a great experience. The complimentary drinks rounded off the whole experience perfectly. We were completely satisfied and very happy that we chose this particular tour.

My husband and I booked "whale watching and swimming with dolphins" for the first time. And we were simply thrilled, the organization was very well planned, at the beginning Camila gave us an introduction to the tour and repeated several times that the animals should be well and that we should only listen to her commands because she first has to assess whether the dolphins even want us to go into the water. I was overjoyed because I think that's important on a tour like this. Animal-friendly! We then got into the motorboat with Vladi and then really had the opportunity to swim with the dolphins! A unique experience, indescribably beautiful. My husband and I couldn't stop smiling. We definitely want to do it again. A big thank you to Camilla and Valdi for making such a really beautiful and engaging tour possible for us.
