    What our guests say

    Jul 2026
    I had an amazing trip with my family, and even though the boat ride felt a bit scary for the child at first, we still saw common dolphins and sperm whales. I appreciated the marine biologists on board, the friendly atmosphere, and how well the staff looked after everyone.

    I had the best experience ever because the staff was kind, calming, and friendly, and they shared interesting facts about the island and wildlife during the boat ride.

    I had an excellent visit, and I found Joana and André to be very good hosts.

    I had a fantastic tour and felt we were taken to the right places to observe four different species. I appreciated the careful, respectful approach to the animals and the clear explanations from Joana.
