"We were a group of 9 friends and had a fantastic day. Super friendly owners and a great boat. We were even lucky enough to see several dolphins swimming alongside our boat for a few minutes.
We can only recommend this tour!"Viktor+Lauritz · September 2024
"Waiting standing in the sun in a horrible parking lot for 30 minutes (in our case it was 45) before boarding the boat is inhumane. It's the result of over-exploitation of the excursion and poor management by the saleswoman."esperanza · August 2026
