“I received a message the day before the cruise informing me that my booking had been 'upgraded' to the dolphin tour due to a mechanical issue with the catamaran. I was expecting a boat upgrade, but instead, the boat was small, and I couldn’t even sit next to my partner. The seats were low, so I couldn’t really see what was happening. I didn’t enjoy the overall experience—it was cold, and there wasn’t much to see.”

“We were informed that it might be choppy for kids as the weather had been bad but we went out anyway and it was no bother at all for my 10 year old. We both get sea sick but as you are only away an hour or so it really was not an issue. My child looove the speed boat jumping in the Waves ..a lovely way of seeing the cost from up the paraglider. Good staff that made us feel safe and comfortable. We be back next year!”
