Description

Our boat, a spacious Rodman 1100, has been transformed into a hybrid vessel with two electric engines, allowing for a silent and eco-conscious experience. This minimal-noise approach ensures a respectful interaction with marine life and invites dolphins to approach the boat naturally and without stress.

During the trip, you’ll have the chance to spot a variety of species, including bottlenose dolphins, Atlantic spotted dolphins, common dolphins, Risso’s dolphins, striped dolphins, and short-finned pilot whales in their natural environment. Accompanied by our expert crew—skipper Víctor and biologist Paula—you’ll gain fascinating insights into the biology and behaviour of the species we encounter. The biologist-led interpretation transforms this tour into both an adventure and an educational journey.

Our sunset tours operate with a maximum of 8 guests, ensuring a personalised and comfortable setting for families, friends, or solo travellers seeking a peaceful and enriching encounter with nature.

We take pride in actively contributing to marine conservation. During each trip, our crew remains vigilant for any marine threats, collecting ocean debris when possible, and documenting irregularities to report to the authorities.

Drinks and snacks are offered on board, provided through collaborations with projects that share our commitment to sustainability and marine conservation.
