“Good boat trip to spot dolphins. Sufficient space and all on the outside of the boat so you have a good spot to see the Dolphins. Friendly staff, but no information shared on animals or the surroundings. We were lucky and have seen many Dolphins. Nice the boat travels back through the island group.”
