So many things to look up now after the tour! Cannot give enough stars! Sarah and Kitty”

The English-language crew shares simple marine tips while you enjoy coastal views, an onboard bar, and a possible swim stop. Sightings are never guaranteed, but repeat trips may be discounted if none appear.
“To watch dolphins its a great tour but when the sea is a bit rough its not idea for those that cannot handle it as the boat moves slowly to watch dolphins and it wobbles a lot! On my tour several people got sick because of this. Also, in my opinion and from what I saw on the tour, 1hr is more than enough.. the 2nd hour everyone was eager for this this end.”

“Perfect way to start exploring Mijas Pueblo. During the ride you see the main sightseeing places and will be able to get your bearings. The lady guide was lovely and knowledgeable. After the ride it's easy to decide which direction you would like to stroll and what places you would like to explore more. I wouldn't recommend for small children as the village is quite hilly, busy and really not too much fun for small kids. However, for teenage girls it is a place to go - a mixture of culture and shopping...”
