"A nice tour in itself, we even saw dolphins...
BUT I booked 2.5 hours and we drove for 1.5 hours. An hour less seems pretty cheeky to me! We then had to watch the sunset on land while a few boats were still cruising along. I think that's a real shame, because that's one of the reasons we chose this rather expensive tour!

"The crew worked hard to find dolphins, and their search paid off. We were able to observe several dolphins. Nevertheless, they kept their distance from the animals. We were lucky and were the only ones on the boat, apart from one other family."
