We booked the 3 hours catamaran trip outside the hotel where we were staying. The price was good and included bus and lunch and drinks on board. There was plenty of food (paella, chicken nuggets chips) but there was no fruit afterwards! Not an issue.
The crew were great. They always took care on approaching the whales so they were not disturbed. They seemed to be happy to follow us as we sailed the area, slowly. They came very close and we manage to get some stunning pictures. This on its own was worth the price of the excursion.
One small downside is the net area works on first come first serve basis, so we had no chance to sit there – and as a result losing on what you would first associate with a catamaran trip. However the spotting of the whales and the friendliness of the staff made it worth every penny and more.

We went on the trip yesterday with our two kids (4 and 1 year old), and the staff (Gabriel, Cristobal and Maria) was amazing from start to finish — from bringing drinks to explaining the nature and the island, and making sure everyone was having a great time. The captain even let my son sit in his seat and announce to everyone that we had a new captain on board, which was such a sweet moment. We were lucky to see a family of pilot whales (no dolphins, unfortunately). The boat was comfortable, and I really appreciated that they didn’t overcrowd it — two separate catamarans with a reasonable number of people left from the same company.
The only thing I would point out is the food — we had a basic paella, chicken nuggets with fries for the kids, and a local dessert. Everything else about the experience was great.
