Fucking cold but worth it

Starting at 5:30 we took the first trip of the day and some willpower is needed to get in the 12° cold water at this time. The provided wetsuits are quite good but nothing for the feet. There was also a quite big swell which reduces the fun factor a little bit for people they can't handle this. The attraction itself, the swim with dolphins in the very clear water with very good visibility was outstanding. We met hundreds of them and could swim/interact with them 3 times. After the swim there was enough time for taking pictures of these funny animals from the boots view. We also spotted some Albatrosses during the boat ride.

Best experience in life

I have no words to describe how wonderful this was. I love nature and see wild animals. This gave me the chance to enjoy so close of this beautiful creatures in their natural environment and it was beyond magical. The company is amazing, they explain you everything that you need to know before to get into the ocean, in a very fun (and funny) way. Very friendy and helpful team. I just won't recommend taking this tour if you have seasickness as so many people didn't have a good time in the boat because of this. They will let you know the day before the conditions of the ocean so if it's calm you should take it, otherwise I wouldn't recommend if you get easily dizzy.
