Frequently asked questions
NO. It is very important to be aware that this is a 100% natural tour in the open wild and not a zoo! Therefore we can never guarantee for sure that cetaceans will be sighted, but we can promise we will do our best to find them. Since our launch until now, 94% of the tours were successful (data 2019+2020), but nature is nature and sometimes it happens!
This number is the result of opportunistic data collection on board our vessel since the beginning of our activity. We log every Dolphin Tour – with or without sightings since June 2019, so we can gather accurate information. Our team collects opportunistic data in every single tour regarding dolphins occurrence, behavior, ecology & many other inputs.
NO. We will try our best to find cetaceans for more than 2h30, and we can search for a little bit more ( if the skipper determines the conditions are good to continue). However, if the tour starts but the sea is unexpectedly rough the tour may be cancelled with refund.
