About this experience

Small speedboat (max 10 people) for a more intimate and personal atmosphere.
In average way more dolphins and closer to us than any other dolphin tour.
You will see from very close how fisherman operate.
Usually no other dolphin watching boats (or maximum 2-3 of them).
Respectful approach towards dolphins (turn off engine while beeing close)
At the end of the tour you will have the opportunity to see the old town from the sea perspective.
If we don't see dolphins you can join us free of charge on the next tour.

Important notes

PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY:
- Our skipper will pick you up at the VERY END of the pier at the time the activity starts (+/- 10 minutes depending on the pick up location). SEE BELOW THE STARTING TIMES BY PERIOD.
- The skipper will send you a message on WhatsApp (or SMS) the evening before the tour starts so you will have his phone number in case you need it in the morning.
- If you haven't selected any pick up location please send me your approximate location by email or WhatsApp and I will send you the nearest pick-up location.
- The boat is not located on the pier and the skipper will come just to pick you up.
- On both sides of every our speedboat it's written "Goat a Boat" (our second brend) or "Andana Sea Tours" so you can easily recognize us.
- I recommend to bring sunglasses, long sleeves and/or a wind jacket and a beach towel because it's cold on the sea early in the morning and the cushions on the boat can be humid.
