  • Is not ecological or wildlife friendly

    The staff is very kind but the concept bothers me. Already we were packed at 12 on a small boat... We hunt the dolphin rather... we jump into the water to see it swim then we quickly get back in the boat to chase the school of wild dolphins but which anyway does not approach humans... the same for sea turtles or rays... After lunch on the beach was excellent.

    We are reviewing especially to praise and thank you(as a company), and the people you employ. Looking at reviews, we decided cheapest is not better… We are glad of this decision, our guides today chose the welfare of the wild animals over our paid custom , which is massively appreciated, with around 30 boats all looking for the dolphins (seemed to be a busy day), all fully loaded, our guides kept their engines low, and prioritised not rushing us into the water, or being close to the dolphins, they were kind , friendly, and massively respectful , which made our trip especially enjoyable, yes we didn’t get to swim with the dolphins however the welfare of these beautiful wild animals is more important. The captains did a fantastic job at preserving that, it was apparent from other companies or local guides that did not and was borderline barbaric the way they chased & jumped in the water without thought for 2 seconds of viewing time. The transfer to and from , aside from being 10 minute late ourselfs got us there on time. We had a fantastic day all down the staff! Overall a great experiance, but please follow their recommendations of weather you get into the water to see these wonderful mammals or not, they know best (from this company) the lunch and island were also an amazing addition. Food was very well cooked and tasty. Would recommend highly

    Admittedly, when we arrived, we were both very unsure of how the day would plan out as the morning whilst 'checking in' seems very disorganized. However, once you are out on the boat, it's wonderful. Having just learnt to snorkel the day before, Rahul and David were very understanding and helpful in getting me into the water. The swimming with dolphins was an incredible experience, and I thoroughly recommend. The amount of time you get in the water will depend on how many people are in the boat with you, for us it was a full boat, so had about 10 minutes followed by another hour watching them. The lunch on the island was brilliant and complete with fish, chicken and lots of alcohol. We had 9 people on our trip, all of which spoke different languages, but we all had great fun and learnt a lot from each other. A great trip to do.

  • All right.

    We went on the tour with our two boys (8 + 10) - just highly recommended! It was so impressive to be able to experience the dolphins so close. And when you were in the water, you could see the animals swimming by without any problems!
