Excellent value for money on this trip. Collected from our hotel at the time specified and travelled to Corralejo. Once there, we boarded a glass bottom boat - BONUS as we expected a ferry!! Drinks available on board and €1.50 for a 1.5l bottle of water was a bargain and ideal for taking onto the island. We were most impressed that the wild dolphins paid us a visit during the crossing and the skipper slowed the boat so we could see them better... That was worth the fare on it's own! 4 hours to ourselves on the island which is a stunning place with wildlife and peace for exploring. Safe journey back with no issues although the bus was a little aged and the air con was constantly 'on' as the control above us was broken. A beautiful day, bonus points for the dolphins, bonus also for the catamaran instead of the ferry. Very happy customers. Thank you.

We had an amazing experience. Everything was great from pickup until drop off. Our guide Adam was very helpful and detailed about the dive. Saw many different types of fish and rocks under the water. I highly recommend this dive to everyone and especially people who have never dived before.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed this day out. Our family consists of 8 so it was fab to do something that pleased us all. The Giraffes were a great hit! 🙌🏻🥰

Such a fab day, can’t fault anything, the transport the event itself and the guy that picked us up and took us on an amazing buggy adventure!
