5.00Great experience! We weren’t sure what to expect, but we went right up to where the dolphins were and jumped in. It was a great experience! The snorkeling at Mnemba island was great for a relaxing experience after.
Great guides!

5.00This experience was great!! We really had a great time with them! I would highly recommend it to anyone who’s interested in going. The guides were friendly and super helpful, they even took my phone to take some amazing pictures under the water (I had a waterproof case). No complains whatsoever with them.
Loved the Dolphins!

5.00Very exciting to swim with the dolphins. Magical and fun. Captain Barnaba made sure to find them for us and had us jump in and swim with them several times. Then some snorkeling followed by amazing fruit on a beach. Well done.
