Moving around the boat as if it was the easiest thing to do, serving and assisting everyone, sharing past experiences and tips for the island. Unlimited drinks (beer and wine) were served. The captain of the boat Carlos was funny in Spanish and English. And Omar was helpful dutifully first aid scenarios (sea sickness). Overall great experience, not overcrowded and perfect for a day trip! Tip: bring sunscreen!!! and apply as often as possible. Take a…”

“We were super lucky to go in January with a hot spell of weather, the park was almost empty due to it being off peak but was lovely and hot. No queuing for any rides but I’d imagine it’d be a different story in the summer. Plenty of choice for all ages and confidence levels. Water was pretty cold but you get used to it. The dolphin show was amazing too. My only bugbear was the food, for a pizza, hot dog, kebab, 2 cokes and a water it cost us 60 euros and the food wasn’t really that nice, very basic and lacklustre, other than that it was fantastic.”
