Fuimos acompañandos por varias biólogas que fueron explicando las especies que veíamos (en portugués, inglés y español). Pudimos ver una familia de cachalotes y un montón de delfines. Echamos en falta una explicación previa antes de empezar, sobre las especies que se pueden ver en esta época, y también que estuvieran algo más de tiempo buscando cetáceos (la última parte fue simplemente de paseo por la costa, porque los avistadores ya no habían localizado más). El barco grande y cómodo. Translate this opinion into English.

We were accompanied by several biologists who explained the species we saw (in Portuguese, English, and Spanish). We were able to see a family of sperm whales and a host of dolphins. We missed a briefing beforehand about the species that can be seen during this time of year, and also a bit more time spent searching for cetaceans (the last part was simply a walk along the coast, as the spotters hadn't found any more). The boat was large and comfortable. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nada mas salir, te dicen que si no ves ningún cetáceo te devuelven el dinero, eso ya da seguridad. Nosotros tuvimos la suerte de ver varios, un par de cachalotes y muchos delfines que fueron nadando con nosotros a la vuelta. La experiencia es genial y Nerea que es quien habla en los 3 idiomas te cuenta varias cosas sobre los animales que vas viendo. A mi personalmente me encantó pero mientras el barco se paró para ver el cachalote, algunos se marearon. Personalmente me parece una experiencia TOP Translate this opinion into English.

As soon as you leave, they tell you that if you don't see any cetaceans, they'll give you your money back—that already gives you confidence. We were lucky enough to see several, a couple of sperm whales, and many dolphins that swam with us on the way back. The experience is great, and Nerea, who speaks three languages, tells you various things about the animals you see. I personally loved it, but while the boat stopped to see the sperm whale, some people got seasick. Personally, I think it's a top experience. Opinion translated. Show original.

O passeio de barco vale muito muito a pena. Incrível. Tripulação muito simpática. Ver golfinhos e baleias foi uma experiência única. Dependendo da altura em que vão, podem encontrar diferentes mamíferos e peixes, o que torna a viagem ainda mais especial. Translate this opinion into English.

The boat trip is very worthwhile. Incredible. Very cool crew. Seeing dolphins and whales was a unique experience. Depending on the time of year you go, you may encounter different mammals and fish, which makes the trip even more special. Opinion translated. Show original.

Actividad muy recomendable. Te garantizan el avistamiento o si no te devuelven el dinero. Vimos dos especies de delfines y una pareja de ballenas. Toda la tripulación es muy agradable y la información que te aportan los biólogos en portugués, inglés y español es muy interesante. Translate this opinion into English.

A highly recommended activity. They guarantee the sighting, or else they'll refund your money. We saw two species of dolphins and a pair of whales. The entire crew was very friendly, and the biologists provided information in Portuguese, English, and Spanish was very interesting. Opinion translated. Show original.

A todo el grupo nos ha encantado la actividad. No hemos podido ver cachalotes ni orcas pero con los delfines ha merecido la pena. Hemos podido ver mas de una especie de delfin y era muy interesante ver lo diferentes que eran. El paseo en barco muy dinámico. Ha sido graciosa y emocionante la experiencia. Uno de los biólogos, Marc, nos ha dado información súper interesante. Recomiendo encarecidamente Translate this opinion into English.

The whole group loved the activity. We didn't get to see sperm whales or orcas, but the dolphins were worth it. We saw more than one species of dolphin, and it was very interesting to see how different they were. The boat ride was very dynamic. The experience was fun and exciting. One of the biologists, Marc, gave us incredibly interesting information. I highly recommend it. Opinion translated. Show original.
