An unforgettable day

An amazing experience. Our captain Daniel (I think) and Caterina were excellent hosts; very knowledgable and funny in equal measure which made the day so enjoyable. They went out of their way to find the dolphins, taking us miles from shore. Seeing them in their natural habitat was an incredible experience. Very highly recommended!

Great dophin and caves trip

Fabulous experience with the family full tour of the caves and much more, including the Dolphins. Gabrielle was a great conversationalist who can speak six languages! Would recommend going.

Brilliant

Diago and Thomas the boat captains were fantastic, so funny, seamlessly translating from Portuguese, Spanish and English! We got very wet in the waves which was great fun!!
