We Saw lots of dolphins, it was awesome. Very fun to go on a speedboat and the snorkel at the end on the reef was amazing. Reccomended

The skippers were great...

The skippers were great and very accommodating in how they approached the dolphins, especially compares to other boats around us. With that said it was very busy, and there wasn't much time to enjoy the dolphins. My wife had been with companies that were in less busy areas, so might be worth a little homework.

Fabulous and unforgettable

We had a truly wonderful experience with this dolphin trip and couldn’t recommend it more highly. We weren’t looking for a half-day or full-day excursion with lunch and extra activities, we simply wanted to go out, see dolphins, and have the opportunity to swim with them. This company delivered exactly that, and exceeded our expectations. Communication was excellent from start to finish, everything was incredibly easy to arrange, and the boat was fantastic. We headed straight out to where the dolphins were, saw plenty of them, and my family had the unforgettable experience of jumping into the water and swimming alongside them. There were a few other boats in the area, but it didn’t detract from the experience at all. In fact, it was lovely to see that the boat operators all seemed to know each other and were genuinely working together to give their guests the best possible experience. I honestly can’t fault this company. It was an unforgettable morning and one of the highlights of our holiday. Thank you so much!

Operator response

Thank you so much Larraine for your great feedback. I am glad we were able to make your holiday an unforgettable memory, and I really hope to see you again soon. Thank you, Feliciano.

Awesome trip - well organised, professional and safe.

Booked this trip for our family, including a teen and a 12 year old. Boat was excellent, modern and took 10 of us plus 2 crew. Looked after my daughter in the water and felt very safe. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Nothing I would repeat

The crew were very friendly, dedicated and helpful — in terms of service, there is absolutely nothing to complain about. However, the dolphins were practically being chased, together with 18 (!) other boats. This made the situation very chaotic and stressful, not only for us “poor tourists” but especially for the animals. At some point, my husband and I stopped jumping into the water because it simply felt pointless and we could no longer reconcile it with our conscience. By the end of the trip, we certainly were not filled with pride. The other tourists who participated seemed mainly focused on getting photos, which they posted to their Instagram stories or wherever else the whole time. Nobody seemed to have the animals’ well-being in mind. Apparently, no one understood what they were doing or where they actually have been. The whole time they stared at their phones and didn’t notice anything what happens around them. Simply shameful. I did something similar in New Zealand a few years ago and was apparently still naive enough to expect it would be run in a similar way. In New Zealand, there was a comprehensive briefing beforehand and clear rules were established. Here, there was not even the slightest mention of measures to protect the dolphins or the people. For us, it was a waste of time and money. However, everyone else visibly seemed to enjoy it very much. So if animal welfare is not important to you, then you can do this. I also believe it doesn’t matter which provider you book with — as mentioned, there were 18 other boats present.

Highly Recommend The Kind of Blue Boat

We had an amazing morning swimming with dolphins. We were lucky enough to see and swim with them on multiple occasions, which was truly unforgettable. The team were very helpful, polite, and professional, guiding us perfectly and letting us know the best moments to jump into the water. The boat was clean and not overcrowded, especially compared to others around us, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The service from booking to end was completely seamless, and we were even called afterwards to check that everything went well, which was a really nice touch. Importantly, the team showed great respect for the dolphins! Overall, an incredible and unforgettable experience that we would highly recommend.
