Absolutely beautiful !
Non seulement nous avons eu nôtre comptant de dauphins et de phoques, mais la côte en elle même, les paysages étaient incroyables. Une croisière spectaculaire très bien menée et commentée par notre guide. Je recommande vivement !

Extraordinaire
Une excursion extraordinaire dans une nature grandiose et la chance d’avoir cu plein de phoques

Très sympa!
L'équipe du bateau est très sympa, souriante et connaît beaucoup de choses sur les dauphins, la faune marine etc... Les paysages qu'on approche sont magnifiques et il est quasi sûr de trouver des dauphins Hector quand on fait cette croisière...ce qui a été notre cas. Cette croisière a un très bon rapport qualité/prix quand on réserve via bookme je trouve, je recommande.

A faire sans hésiter
La meilleure croisière que j'ai faite pendant mon voyage ! Les dauphins étaient au rendez-vous et la découverte des falaises de la péninsule m'a bluffée. Le bâteau est assez petit ce qui permet de ne pas être dans la masse. Bref, une belle expérience que je ne regrette absolument pas.

Très déçue de la balade en bateau
Accueil du personnel très agréable. Balade sur le bateau comme convenue. En revanche, nous n'avons pratiquement pas vu de dauphin. Nous avons vu que deux dauphins au loin pendant 3 secondes. D'autres personnes plus chanceuses que nous, en ont revu deux autres mais également pendant quelque secondes au loin. Puis nous sommes rentrés au port. Très déçu de cette balade, qui a un certain coût quand même ! Je ne conseil pas vraiment cette compagnie pour aller voir les dauphins. Quelques années plutôt j'étais partie en excursion avec une autre compagnie moins touristique et cette fois-ci j'avais vu une dizaine de dauphins nager au pied du bateau.
