Amazing for adults and children, don’t miss out!

“Mama, this is the best day of my life” said my 9 year old daughter. Carlos took us out on the dolphin trip, we weren’t 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. We’ve 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 won’t regret it

Just book this trip already!

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!!

Great experience

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.
