All our reviews are verified. 100% of customers have enjoyed this activity
It was great. Great gear, great route and great value for the money spent.
The tour was amazing, being able to surround the main crater of Sete Cidades by buggy is a completely recommendable experience. Furthermore, our guide Pedro was super friendly at all times! 100% recommended experience.Review translated from Spanish
You have to go with the idea that you are going to see dolphins. She was very good.Review translated from Spanish
We saw two whales, but in order not to disturb them, you have to leave a lot of distance and they stay about 100 meters away and what you basically see is the back.
Instead the dolphins follow the ship, jump off the side of the ship, etc.
Company's response: Good morning. We appreciate your feedback. In relation to the approximation of two animals, we have certain rules of conduct to be followed and to respect their space. We cannot get close, we are encouraged to make the approach of the boat with the motors off. We hope that we have explained why we can never always be closer to some animal. Obligada e tie una una proxima. Compliments, Elisabete Aguiar
