We expected to see dolphins first, since it is what they told us was more abundant in these waters and that it would be difficult to see orcas.
The day began, With good weather, and a few kilometers away from Tarifa we could see in the distance 2 backpacks in couple. The moon fish were everywhere, I thought it was an extra-find animal, but it is seen that it is quite common in the strait.
We went to an area covered by red fish anglers, Be the best area where we saw several families of killer whales with their own crushes.
The truth is that I recommend 100 x 100 because, the girl in the store told us that in the case of not seeing anything, we will be given a voucher so that we are another day without a date limit. -

We only saw dolphins, because in June and July is when the killer whales are seen, they should put it on the web, otherwise very good.Company's response:
Hello Maria,
First of all, thank you for choosing us to live this experience, as well as your assessment.
The excursion you did is called "Two-hour Whales and Dolphins Excursion" and then we have another called "Excursion to search for whales, dolphins and killer whales for three hours" that we have it only in the months of July and August and some days at the beginning of September. We have the three-hour excursion until the orcas are no longer seen in this area. This year we have stopped making them at the beginning of September and how could it be otherwise, all the amounts of reservations that we had requested for those 3-hour outings in the days close to when we have stopped making them have been returned, because We understand that we cannot offer something that we cannot offer.
This excursion (which is not the one you hired) lasts 3 hours instead of 2, it is also more expensive. All rates, departures, ages, etc., can be seen on the web: https://www.yumping. com/deportes-acuaticos/turmares--e19690153
Also on this platform, you can buy the two products separately. This one you bought for two hours: https ://www.yumping.com/ofertas/avistamiento-de-cetaceos/cadiz/avistamiento-cetaceos-estrecho-de-gibraltar-adulto--o12889, and the excursion to look for killer whales, which would be this: https://www.yumping.com /offers/cetacean-watching/cadiz/orca-sighting-in-the-strait-of-gibraltar--o1289
However, we review our website, in case we can indicate it more clearly and we appreciate your comments.
Receive a cordial greeting and thanks from the Team.

No sperm whale was seen, excessive price, a lot of swell, scared people, vomiting, in short, not recommended. The explanations during the tour were scarce.Company's response:
Hello Jose Luis,
Unfortunately the sea conditions are sometimes unpredictable and although it is not usual, there are times when the swell can appear suddenly and make the journey more eventful. For this reason, the use of Biodramina is recommended.
Regarding what you told us that the explanations were scarce, we take note of the biologist guides who attended your departure, to consult them and try to improve as much as we can.
We appreciate your contributions and we regret that you could not enjoy the magic that nature gives us in the Strait of Gibraltar.
Sincerely,
Commercial department.
