Review of Morro Jable’s dolphin and whale speedboat tour, with snorkeling, coastal views, transfers, guide tips, price, and honest drawbacks.

“guide was great brilliant with the kids who loved the boat, we did not see any whales or dolphins which slightly took the shine off as for our family the day trip was at the top end of the budget, all in all we had brilliant fun but it is expensive if you dont manage to see any”
