2-stündiges Delfinbeobachtungserlebnis auf Fuerteventura

The Crew etc are a lovely bunch of people,the boat is robust and we never felt overwhelmed or unsafe,the sheer size and bright yellow colour of the vessel was striking..unsure how ‘dolphin attracting!??’ The experience is not one of the cheapest available when looking for trips to explore the island and ocean I fully understand it’s not always possible to see wild dolphins in North Atlantic even if you go searching as we did (I think!?) The captain steering the vessel had us out on very choppy waters,he gained speed and we bounced off those waves! Some of the children onboard were showing they were frightened,one little girl was sick into a bag her Mum provided We were then “encouraged” to swim after an unsuccessful dolphin or whale viewing; the boat was anchored and the Captain played loud 1980s Rock Music through the speakers whilst some of us exited the vessel to take a cool dip! There was no direct connection between the crew and ‘us’ there was no communication about the ‘will we or won’t we see them’ for example and certainly no way I thought this was a pleasurable experience for myself & my husband; overall it could have been a little more personable On reflection,I can’t help thinking the whole idea was a tourist trap/fund raising exercise as the crew seemed well versed as to what to say at the start of the trip…re safety and disclaimer about the actual marketing plan of the trip ‘to see wild dolphins’ and again at the end wishing us a safe disembarkation N.B. I have seen school of dolphins in the wild,off the Gold Coast of Portugal where the boats were smaller (holding less tourists) and therefore more personable the crew interacted with the children onboard, including my own We had a lovely trip! And was truly a bonus actually seeing the dolphins in their natural habitat with minimal interference from a noisy,speedy vessel

Booked the trip via Zerger on the coast, she explained that we would pay deposit and then we would pay the remainder there would be on a two hour boat trip picked up at 9:45 am and back for 1 pm When we arrived at 9:40 am to be picked up and then we were held in a chew for over an hour waiting to pay the remainder in 30° heat with no shade before entering onto a boat with no shade it’s ridiculous that you have to pay a small deposit and then I made to wait an hour at the bay is boiling heat with everybody struggling to pay the balance on their cards, this is a poor business model Then we were offered a free drink but the catch was you had to pay one euro for a cup and when you went to pay with your card they Internet was not working out to see and therefore they wouldn’t give you the free drink which was another Paul business model we saw some dolphins which were over 100 m away and you needed eyes like binoculars to see them, It took an hour and a half to get there and an hour and a half back we over an hour late getting back to the bay and then they expected us to sit on a bus which will take over an hour 20 minutes to drop us back to our destination Whilst they cater for the masses the business model is pathetic outdated and doesn’t represent good value for your experience The boat itself was amazing and the music was amazing, but the rest was just shambolic from start to finish I hope this realises that in the end they will lose customers who will get wise to these tactics

the guide was nice, but that was the only thing. we didn't see a dolphin and came off the boat very wet. not recommended. it's not worth your money..
