Booking was really straightforward, and the company got in touch to rearrange our trip because of weather conditions, rather than just cancelling, which was a nice touch. The crew on the day were really friendly and professional, and explained things really clearly.
Being on a smaller boat than the other sea safari we saw was great, as we were all able to see the dolphins clearly and talk to the crew, but we also had space to spread out.
The crew's behaviour around the dolphins when we found some was great; not chasing or harassing them and letting them just come to us.

My husband and I decided to book the 09:30 sailing today. Booking last night was straightforward.
Today , we were warmly greeted by name by Gonzalo, and given a safety briefing before boarding. Onboard we met the the Captain, also very pleasant. Gonzalo is a very engaging host, and effortlessly slips between a range of languages to make sure everyone is included.
Whilst searching for dolphins , my husband noticed a bird on the water. Gonzalo immediately identified the species and realised that the bird was in distress , rescued it with a net and brought it on board , calmed it, and notified the relevant agencies to collect it and check it over upon our return to shore.
We then had the opportunity to see many dolphins and were given plenty of time ( and the dolphins given respectful distance ) to enjoy them, before Gonzalo explained to us what species we had seen and some key info about them. He is extremely knowledgeable and interesting to listen to .
All in all, we really enjoyed the trip. There were 8 guests on board and we felt this was a nice number. I would highly recommend this tour and we wouldn’t hesitate to repeat it if we return to Lanzarote.

We went out on the 09:30 safari and were given detailed instructions on best place to park where to meet etc. the crew of 2 greeted us with a very warm welcome and gave us great safety instructions.
We knew there was never any guarantee of seeing anything whilst out on the safari but these guys are experts beyond belief! We couldn’t believe it when we saw a whale and it seemed to spend ages swimming so close to us.
The, after a short ride further along the coast we came across a pod of at least 50 dolphins swimming a playing round our boat - it was AMAZING!
I’ve done similar trips as this in Florida and this was 100 times more exciting!
The size of the boat was perfect and the maximum of 10 passengers works so well. We had 9 passengers plus the 2 crew on our trip and there was loads of room to move about when you wanted to.

Incredible experience! ✨ I recommend this visit which is well worth the price because there are very few of us (8 in our case) and the walk lasts between 2 and 3 hours. No dolphins the day of our trip but the view from the boat made up for it. Sandra is very kind and speaks French when necessary (which is very pleasant), she and the captain are very involved in the conservation of marine fauna/flora and also explain a lot of things about the island. (Don't panic if you get seasick, they are very attentive and have what it takes to manage)

Wow what a great trip! I went on this trip with my daughter (11) and sister and had such an amazing time. Liz was friendly and welcoming. She explained although they have a good success rate, seeing Dolphins was not guaranteed. However, after about 45 mins she spotted some Risso's dolphins and we were able to spend around 25 mins (keeping a respectful distance) watching them. I would definitely recommend and we have already booked our holiday for next year and will be booking this trip again then. Well worth it.

Wow, I think that sums our day up. We were welcomed on board by our knowledgable crew who made us all feel safe welcome and extremely well informed about what we might see if we were lucky. It really was our day our crew found a very large group of dolphins. We stayed and observed them taking videos and photos for an hour, it’s an experience that we will always remember. Really was great to go out on a smaller boat which made the whole thing much more personal. Really nice also that the crew (I wish I could remember their names for praise) fished out a football from the sea so to conserve the lovely area that supports these amazing animals. Thank you again for an amazing morning. I hope that you are this lucky every trip 😍

I went on the afternoon boat trip and it was fantastic. Having such a professional and knowledgeable crew onboard made it even better. We saw a large pod of feeding striped dolphins and followed them for a time and we also saw 2 Blainville beaked whales very close up. Saved a juvenile seagull, we found bobbing on the water, who’s feathers were all saturated and couldn’t fly. Animal rescue came to collect it from the boat when we returned. Highly recommend this trip, small boat capacity of 12 max, with an enthusiastic and passionate team, who really understand the ocean inhabitants and do their absolute best to spot them for you! Relaxed atmosphere on board and the trip duration of +/- 2 hours was a perfect length of time.

What an incredible experience!
Great evening out on the water, watching the sunset surrounded by dolphins 🐬
Felt so special, actually quite an emotional moment with the beautiful setting.
Obviously it's not gaurenteed to see any sealife but we saw one at first & felt lucky with that, slowly started to head back and came across sooo many more swimming right up next to the boat!
Such a great time, and staff were lovely and super informative.
Just a note, there's no toilets on board so make sure you go before you get on ;)

The info leaflet does inform you that there are no guarantees of sightings. We managed to see one group of spotted dolphins which was an amazing experience. We were slightly disappointed not to see more sightings within the 3 hour boat trip as the ones we did see took a long time to find and was over quite quickly. Towards the end of the trip the skipper said he saw more in the distance and sped off in that direction but by the time we reached that area we unfortunately didn’t see anything. We were in a group with Spanish and Italian families. The Italian family said they could understand English and were ok with Spanish. The guide provided all tour info in Spanish first of all, before English, which was absolutely fine. However the Spanish family (with two younger children) asked lots of questions which was (seemed to be) answered in detail by the guide, but unfortunately was not translated into English. We did ask what was said a couple of times but we feel we missed out on some of the info and experience due to this.

Excellent communication before we booked. Everything well organised. Sandra did a fantastic job - no idea how she spotted that pod of rough toothed dolphins, but she did. They ended up swimming really close to us, and when we headed back they treated us to a beautiful leap 'goodbye'. A truly magical experience that will stay with us forever.

I know there is no guarantee of seeing dolphins, but is there more chance on the morning or evening trip? We re coming over in June and would love to take a boat trip.

Hi do you need to make your own way to the meeting point or are you collected from your hotel ?
Written 27 July 2020
We made our own way to the port. I don’t think they provide transport, but if you contact them directly I’m sure they’ll be able to confirm this

Where are you based in Puerto Calero? Went to the harbour today to book a tour with the tourist info and they couldn’t tell me where you were or left from!
Thank you
