It was amazing seeing them work with other boat companies to find the dolphins and you could tell there is a positive atmosphere between them and the staff on boat. The breakfast was okay, but wasn’t overly amazing, but we came for the dolphins, not the breakfast!”

“Very nice boat tour, we stopped in a beautiful bay to swim and snorkel for about 15 min, then we moved to catch the dolphins (we saw a bunch of them for about 20 min). On the boat are sold cold drinks and there’s a little toilet. A very good activity overall, the only thing to say is there was no guide at all (but not strictly necessary for the activity in my opinion)”
