    It's a beautiful boat trip, and the sunset with the Trafalgar lighthouse in the background is incredible. The crew was very friendly, and the music made the trip very enjoyable. It would have been perfect if they had reduced the number of people on board by 10-15.

    Everything was great! We went with a two-year-old and he absolutely loved seeing the dolphins and pilot whales (no whales or orcas, nature takes its course and we think that's perfectly fine). Drinks and snacks are included, although we didn't use them. The atmosphere was very relaxed, with entertainment and everything. The captain and the biologist were also very professional. We would definitely do it again.
