A unique experience with some super guides, one was Alan and the other had dreadlocks (I don't remember his name 😅) they accomplished their mission 🐬🐬🐬🐬 100% recommended.
Thank you
The best organization for Dolphin excursion, professional, safety, respect for the dolphins A perfect team, secure boat and excellent value for money Book without hesitation
merci beaucoup
It turned out to be a great decision that the tour started as early as 7:00 a.m., as there were still very few other boats around the dolphins. We were lucky enough to see several dolphins. The skipper and the guide were extremely friendly. We felt very safe throughout the trip, and the atmosphere on the boat was excellent. The guide even got into the water with us and personally assisted those who were less confident swimmers, helping them get closer to the dolphins. We were pleasantly surprised. If you don’t like following dolphins by boat, then this kind of tour is probably not for you.
Thank you for your visit
Incredible experience, the highlight of our trip. Our guides were very knowledgeable and ensured we had multiple opportunities to see and swim with dolphins.
Thank you
Fabulous experience from start to finish. We had booked with another operator for a day trip but weather was unpredictable so they suggested it wouldn’t be a good day. We then spoke with Chloe the rep at our resort who was super helpful and guided us with our decision and so glad we did. We just did the morning dolphin trip although if we had more time would book the day trip with JPH too. We went out with Alan and the captain and there were just 5 guests. The boat was lovely and the crew were great. Yes there were quite a few boats but the dolphins were not distressed at all. They could have easily swum away from the boats but stayed near the group of boats. Alan was great and guided the group to be near the dolphins. The crew held back and waited for good moments to jump in and swim. It is fast and you have to swim quick but swimmers got used to it. A wonderful experience and well organised with friendly and experienced staff. Would 100% recommend a trip with JPH if you have a rep at your resort don’t hesitate to speak with them.
thank you for visiting JPH and happy you had a nice time
Too touristy an attraction. It is the dolphin hunt. There are a lot of motorboats (very surprising) and it is not really possible to swim and see the dolphins pleasantly, even though it remains magical. A catamaran is a quieter and more pleasant option for just seeing dolphins and respecting them (experience made in Lanzarote). Swimming with a wild dolphin does not exist.
Nous apprécions votre remarque sur les catamarans et prenons en considération ce type de retour afin d'améliorer continuellement l'expérience proposée à nos visiteurs. Merci d'avoir partagé votre expérience. Malgré ces réserves, nous sommes heureux que l'observation des dauphins ait conservé pour vous son caractère magique.
A big thank you to Yannick Alcindor for his advice, we had an extraordinary time on the lounge boat. We saw and swam with the dolphins, admired the colorful fish, and enjoyed the beach at Morne. I highly recommend JPH Charters
Merci pour ce beau commentaire...faut dire qu'il est exceptionel Yannick
We had an absolutely incredible experience with them. Alan and the other captain were so friendly, great with the kids, and made sure we had unforgettable experiences swimming with dolphins and turtles. We swam alongside a pod of 8 dolphins, including 2 babies, and then a couple of huge turtles in another spot. It really did complete our holiday and is an experience we will never forget. The boat was also far nicer than I was expecting and was really comfortable. It was such a fabulous morning, thank you to the JPH team. Really hope we will be back again!!
Thank you for coming and for your comments
Had a great morning swimming with dolphins. The tour guides gave us many opportunities to swim with the dolphins and also take pictures of them once we were all happy we’d seen them during our swim. Highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for coming, your comment is much appreciated
We left early and it was worth it. Our guide Alan was great. Arrived on site we were only four boats with few people, we enjoyed well , the dream of a life realized for me.
merci de votre visite
