What people are saying about Benalmadena

lovely staff and a wonderful boat. we didn't see any dolphins but the staff tried their best. nothing was too much trouble. they gave us blankets when it got cool and looked after me when I got seasick. the drinks were a good price and we had a very enjoyable boat trip. I think it's worth booking with them if you want a boat trip in general and then if you see dolphins it's a bonus. you have a wonderful trip seeing some gorgeous shorelines so it's well worth doing. plus we got a stamp for a half price trip next time as we didn't see any dolphins. you can also get fairly priced photos/keychains. Highly recommend and than you for our wonderful trip. you won't be disappointed if you book this boat trip.

Amazing show such beautiful horses and talented elegant riders. The flamenco dancer was fabulous. Well worth a visit. Enquire before booking.. It didn't appear to be wheelchair accessible as the seating is up steps. We did see 2 spaces on the ground floor with a cut out in the wall?

Dear Sir or Madam. The best experience ever. We would like to thank everyone, who made such a fantastic event possible. It will stick in our memory forever. Also if you can speak to the Horses please thank them from my Wife and I. Kind Regards. Mr Elvet Owen Williams. UK.

This is a really really good trip. The sailors are upbeat friendly and welcoming, they bring fun and are professional too. They go the extra mile to make it adventurous for us passengers, not to be missed !

Really good value. Saw loads of dolphins. Boat crew were really nice and friendly. Thoroughly recommend this trip.
