Summary:
I wanted to take a sea ride with my children to observe cetaceans but I had no desire to end up in a tourist factory with 50 people on the boat.
I discovered Wewhale while doing some research and I absolutely do not regret my choice.
The outings are planned for very small groups and we were lucky enough to be alone with Victor and Paola.
We had an absolutely extraordinary time, during which we could observe blue and white dolphins, Fraser dolphins and even a sperm whale 🥹
It was a magical moment for my children and I and they were amazed by this spectacle.
We took the evening walk at sunset and the dolphins were very playful and were following the boat.
Thank you both again for this great experience!
