4.00A good day spent as a couple despite a long wait before starting the day. We arrived on site at 7:15 am to board around 8:30 am. We did not swim with dolphins but only filmed them during their swims because it is really a dolphin hunt. All the boats present, rush on the dolphins with about twenty swimmers who jump and flee it is a shame. Regarding the rest of the day very good atmosphere, very beautiful and paradisiacal beaches
Wish I had gone on another trip!

1.00Taxi came 30mins early at 6am. Waited on the beach on arrival no one knew what was happening. Put onto speed boats. 20 persons as said only allowed 19 persons. The boat ride was good high speed, Just snorkelling in sea. No Life jackets supplied. Didn’t see any dolphins or any other sea life. But did think while on boat we wouldn’t. BBQ ok, but there was no washing facilities I’m sure if Dave to eat!! If just want a sea boat ride & swim in sea, go on trip.. but if want to see dolphins do not go!
Disappointed

2.00Was very poorly organised. Just taken to a deserted beach to a man with a pen and a pad. It looked like we were going to be trafficked. No water as stated. Small boat guide barely spoke English. Appreciate you cannot control nature and they did give it a good try for us to swim with the dolphins but without flippers, way too hard. We thought these may be provided with snorkelling equipment as they have on other trips. Food was pretty good. But all in all not the day we were expecting. When you arrive back there is no one to meet you. You just have to hope your car turns up for the return journey.
Great experience

The crew helped us in every way they could. Thank you so much for this wonderful day.
