тАЬMama, this is the best day of my lifeтАЭ said my 9 year old daughter.
Carlos took us out on the dolphin trip, we werenтАЩt sure that we would spot any initially. The speedboat was very fun, but also peaceful and calming.
Carlos and Gustavo were brilliant, so friendly and you feel they genuinely care about the marine life, this is their life! We managed to see a few different pods, such beautiful creatures in their natural environment. WeтАЩve been traveling with our kids for over a month but this boat trip was an absolute highlight that we will remember forever.
Just book it, you wonтАЩt regret it

Carlos and Gus are INCREDIBLE - we had such a wonderful time out in the ocean with them. They shared so much incredible knowledge of the area, and the wonderful animals that call it home. They were fun and lighthearted the whole time, while doing everything possible to ensure we had a great time. We had some trouble finding the dolphins, but they kept at it until we found a massive pod with tons of juveniles and even some mamas with their babies (that kept their distance). The two islands were also lovely to visit (Ilha Deserta is incredible) and overall we had a splendid day with the two of them. I couldn't recommend them any more strongly - do yourself a favour and book the tour!!
IтАЩm coming back!!!

Amazing experience, we saw dolphins! The host was so nice & educated. Saw loads of different species of birds and their habitats. Also had lots of time to chill on the islands. It was great as a solo activity too.
Great experience

It's was a fantastic tour, very informative and stopped off on a couple of lovely islands! Would definitely do again and recommend to anyone.
Good but there are better options

Great trip but quite pricy for what you end up getting, would not do it again.
The time we spent in the actual islands was not enough.
The captain and staff were knowledgeable and shared a lot of great info, but I would honestly get a hop on hop off sort of deal for at least 6-7 hours

Tour needs to provide more educational information

We were hoping to have more opportunities to see wildlife and birds up close. The salt marshes are an interesting ecological area, with lots of wildlife and opportunities to learn about how they function. However, we didn't feel that we learned that much, and saw very few birds or other sea life. Binoculars would have made a difference, as sights were often far away. Driver did point out some wildlife, but from distances it was difficult to make them out. Time on Deserta Island was disappointing - not many birds in sight, and boardwalk needs some repair. Lovely beach on Farol Island. Seemed that there was a surplus of free time, when we expected more hand's on info to be provided. That being said, we enjoyed the time on the water and seeing the change in the tidal waters.
