Meeting time at 6:45 a.m. in Black River. At 7 a.m. you will leave on one of our speed boats for an unforgettable encounter. You will observe wild dolphins in their natural environment. If the conditions are right, you can also swim with them, accompanied by a skipper (max 2 persons at a time). We will first explain you the rules for a respectful encounter with the dolphins. The first part of this excursion ends with a snorkeling on the coral reef. Then it is time to go observe the whales. With the help of a hydrophone, our crew will try to localize them. Sperm whales can be observed all year round while humpback whales can be observed between June and October. Water and soft drinks will be served during the trip.

3.00Wie booked a tour with light breakfast and lunch but we have never got anything to eat only something to drink…after we came back and complained by phone nobody really helped… they said it was not true… when we returned tonten website the breakfast and lunch were still visible but crossed out… in our eyes it was just fraud!!!! We just booked because of the breakfast and lunch…because we droved 1,5 hours of the opposite site of the island! We could have booked cheaper tours… We are not complaining about the boat crew they did everything… they were nice and helpful
The tour was great and...

4.00The tour was great and we saw everything. It could only have been explained a bit more and with the whales there were sometimes over 10 boats and there were a lot of people in the water from other providers so you could hardly admire the whales.
Saw the whales ...

1.00Booked with Dolswim. The night before the tour (at 2 o'clock !) lapidary Whatsapp received, tour cancelled due to rain warning. Transfer could no longer be cancelled and so we stayed on the cost. No more response from Dolswim. Others did the tour at other organizers' on the day.... Can only advise anyone to book only with organizers who have pickup included and just not with Dolswim
Bad experience with dilswim on dolphin trip

1.00Poor organization for the dolphin outing. Force you to swim with a life jacket. So it's impossible to track dolphins. A loft for the exit. The swim with dolphin lasted 30 min for an outing of 7h... No hygiene for the meal. And poorly organized. We are served food in tup where cooked meat is next to raw meat. We had a night out from 8:00 to 14. With meals on the island at the benign. Result he asks us to eat at 10:30 in the morning... team to flee.
Disappointed

3.00At the time of booking, it was mentioned that the group was a maximum of 8 people (which clearly tipped the balance in the choice of provider); on arrival, this was not respected and the group was 11. It was mentioned that we could listen to whales and sperm whales using a hydrophone, which is not true, the boat was not equipped. The crew were friendly and very respectful of dolphins and sperm whales, which is not the case with many other vessels present on site... Indeed, both at the site of observation of sperm whales and dolphins, dozens of other boats were present and rushed on cetaceans at the slightest observation... In addition, whether or not you are an experienced swimmer, the wearing of a flotation aid vest is mandatory both on the boat and during launches (except at the snorkeling site at the end). Sincerely; a contract not respected, mass tourism at its purest. The only comfort, the animals were respected. I do not recommend and will not do so again.
£150 per person nightmare

1.00We booked via Kuoni to go watch dolphins and whales. Up at 4.00am, to be picked up at 4.50am, one and a half hour journey across to flic and Flac, collecting others on the way. After an hour waiting, 13 got on the boat, it was windy. Found a few dolphins with ten other boats following them, so easy to find. Couldn’t swim with them as Kuoni frown about that, but totally understandable. Then a mile out to sea for two nightmarish hours to look for whales, which we never saw. 4 metre swell, getting absolutely wet through, people being sick over the side, what a total nightmare and seemed dangerous to me. We asked to go back to the beach, what a relief when we got there. My advice would be to go when it is calm, our trip should have been cancelled. Not sure who the boat operators were. Then a one and half hour trip back. £150 per person day not to remember.
Great tour with close experience of dolphins

5.00Great tour with great guides. We have seen both sperm whales and dolphins. We went snorkeling with the dolphins. An unforgettable experience. The subsequent snorkeling was also very nice. An absolute must if you want to see dolphins and whales!!
Fantastic Boat Trip

5.00What a fantastic boat trip! We did an exclusive whale and dolphin tour. Our guide Julian and driver (I’m so sorry I can’t remember your name!) were outstanding. Very knowledgeable, with full respect for the animals and honestly an incredible knack for spotting wildlife. We saw a group of pilot whales, sperm whales, spinner dolphins and turtles. We found the spot where the dolphins were quite overwhelming so asked if we could leave and carry on with our boat trip which they were more than happy to oblige with and came up with a plan to go to over to Crystal Rock which was stunning. I mentioned that i was desperate to see turtles and having warned me that the place we were in really wasn’t the best for seeing them, they not only managed to find one but several, which was a dream come true. Also I t’s very clear from what we saw of other boats that Dolswim go above and beyond to avoid stressing out the animals so 10/10 to them!
