Whale & Dolphin Watching Tours
Three hours boat ride where you might see Blue whales (plus smaller numbers of sperm whales, pilot whales and sei whales), Dolphins (mainly Spinner) are also regularly seen.
Most sightings occur between March/April and August/September, as whales continue their migrations around the island from the south coast.
There is a high chance to see whales or dolphins during our tours (probably 50% of Whales, 90% of Dolphins) and we will give our best to find them for you on every single day in their natural environment. However, on some days, even with our best efforts, it is impossible for us to show you dolphins or whales.

Paddle Boarding
* currently not available* Paddle boarding is fun and relaxing activity accessible to everyone. Also it’s the fastest growing water sport in the world today!
This activity is great for those who love being in touch with nature. Rent our paddle boards, paddle outside, watch the sky even the sunset and enjoy the view of the shore.
One of the many reasons why the sport became popular so fast is the ease of learning it. SUP is, in fact, so easy that no matter what your age is, how fit you are, or your level of skill, you can definitely learn stand up paddle boarding.
