“Andrew was amazing. He took us several places that were quite remarkable and he explained everything so well that we were left more than pleased. He also went above and beyond by taking pictures of us throughout our trip that will help provide us with lasting memories. Andrew clearly loves what he’s doing and makes you feel as though you’re traveling with an old friend rather than a guide. I’d recommend this tour without hesitation. Amazing experience!”

For about two hours, it looked like we wouldn‘t find any dolphins, but the crew didn‘t give up, and at the last minute, they spotted a pod which we then followed for a while (though keeping our distance as to not stress the dolphins, and letting them come to us). Everybody on the team was extremely kind, and it was fantastic to see that the animals are treated with respect. We definitely recommend taking this tour!
