The trip was the worst experience of our life! The trip takes 5 hours in total. 2,5 hours there for 5 minutes of watching dolphines, no whales at all, and after 2,5 hours of boat trip back! The boat swayed the whole time and everyone was throwing up. Only afterwards the peronal told us theres a 50% chance of seeing whales and therefore we could not get any refund at all, but that information could not be found anywhere not even on the website. Do not book this trip, it is a scam! Also we paid adult price for our youngest 11 year old, and when we found out it only cost Half the price for him the personal refused to correct it and give us the money we paid too much back. Horrible experience!

They forgot to pick us up, but after some frantic messages between the tour operator and viator a tuk tuk arrived to whizz us off to the port (27 mins late), once on board there was no hanging around, we left as soon as we boarded but being the last to board meant there were no upstairs seats left. We did not see whales but we were prepared for this, but absolutely no effort was put into "watching" for the whales, the crew stayed chatting to the captain, no binoculars were used and they seemed to rely solely upon another boat spotting whales and alerting them... if other boats acted like this crew I image not many whales ever get spotted. I only ate the banana as the fish/egg sandwich looked pure rank..

Good service , neat on time , However, no whales seen. There was nothing to complain about from the sevice , if there are no whales to be seen , they cannot do anything about it .

We had an unforgettable tour with Naleefa Tours, and a big part of that was thanks to our incredible driver, Zahran. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized. The itinerary was well-planned, the vehicle was clean and comfortable, and every stop was better than the last. Zahran was more than just a driver—he was a guide, a helper, and a true professional. He drove safely and smoothly throughout the journey, always on time, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. His friendly attitude, local knowledge, and willingness to go the extra mile truly made this trip special.
