Terrific, that was great
The snorkeling was simply super, the dolphins swam right past us. You can also see different types of fish 🐟 at the coral reef. Simply magnificent. Great experience with a super crew on the boat. I can only give our thanks here to our German-speaking guide, who took care of us with full dedication and also explained everything perfectly.

Swim with dolphins without dolphins
It was disappointing not to see any dolphins; for an excursion billed as "swim with the dolphins," that is a real shame. Also, the fact that we were practically forced to pay a tip at the end of the trip left a bad impression.

Unique experience
It was a unique experience to swim alongside with wild dolphins. The trip was shortened due to weather conditions didn't do the coral reef snorkeling. (seems te be normal in winter months). Overall a very special experience!
