Remember to bring:

Mountain clothing or sportswear
Hiking shoes with a good grip are mandatory and will be checked by a guide before starting the trip
From October to March, the weather can vary more easily, and rainfalls are usually more frequent (trips during rainy days are generally avoided, but sometimes the weather can be a surprise). Warm clothing with long sleeves as well as long trousers and, just in case, a rain jacket which can also serve as a windstopper are strongly recommended
Considering the fact that dinner in the restaurant is at about 3.30 pm and that everyone has individual preferences, you can take a light meal of your own, for example: fruits, energy bars, almonds, biscuits, sandwiches, etc.

Onboard Spirit of the Sea – World Cetacean Alliance certified for responsible whale and dolphin watching – you'll get to see these friendly and intelligent creatures in their natural habitat.There are six types of dolphins to spot, including bottlenose and common. And fin – the second-largest mammal – and pilot whales also make regular appearances. In fact, one-third of all species of cetaceans, which include whales and porpoises, can be found in these waters. The tour focuses on education with guides who share marine facts, help spot species and support real research. Spirit of the Sea are all about doing things responsibly, and their mission is simple – to show dolphins and whales while inspiring people to respect and protect them.You'll be able to keep a lookout for other creatures too – turtles, flying fish and brightly coloured parrotfish – thanks to the boat's viewing area.
