you’ll get stopped at sea...
you’ll get stopped at sea on the way back to shore with them demanding money from you. They’ll joke saying they won’t take you back to shore until you hand over all the money you have on you. As a young couple in our early 20’s this was a very scary experience!

Good Snorkeling, But Several Disappointments
We had a mixed experience with this tour. Our driver was lovely, respectful, and walked us all the way to the boat. The captain was very fun and helpful!
We first visited a location (Dolphin House?) but unfortunately did not see any dolphins. Of course dolphin sightings cannot be guaranteed. However, we did see a manatee and were able to snorkel with it, which was super. We then had to choose between a sandbank, coral reef, or sunken boat. We chose the sunken boat, where corals had grown and attracted many fish, making it a great snorkeling spot.
That said, there were several disappointing aspects. The tour was advertised as 3 hours, but we were only on the water for around 2 hours. We had also expected to visit multiple spots, but instead had to choose just one of the three options.
We were also a little uncomfortable with the photographer who repeatedly took photos of us without us requesting this service. We eventually asked him to stop. Later, he showed us the photos and initially said they were included, only to then ask for €70. We declined. We found the entire situation unnecessary and would have preferred to simply enjoy the boat trip and snorkeling.
The manatee encounter and snorkeling were highlights, and the driver and captain were great. However, the shorter-than-advertised tour, limited choice of only one main location, and unsolicited photography significantly affected our experience.
Overall, 3 stars.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed our driver’s service, the captain’s hospitality, the snorkeling experience, and your memorable encounter with the manatee.
We would, however, like to clarify a couple of points. According to our operation records, your private speedboat trip departed at approximately 8:00 AM and returned at around 11:30 AM, so the experience was completed within the scheduled duration.
Regarding the itinerary, dolphin sightings can never be guaranteed as they are in their natural habitat. After the dolphin search, guests are free to choose the location they would like to enjoy most, whether a sandbank, coral reef, or the sunken boat, allowing more time to fully enjoy their preferred stop.
We also appreciate your comments regarding the photographer. The photography service is completely optional, and there is absolutely no obligation to purchase any photos. We will nevertheless share your feedback with the team to ensure every guest feels fully comfortable throughout the experience.
Thank you again for your feedback. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back for another adventure with Bella Trips.

Private boat trip 3h
We had amazing experience with dolphin watching and snorkeling. We found dolphins almost immediately and after that we went snorkeling to a small private coral spot with amazing amount of fish. Finally we visited small island with white sand.

The tour was very disappointing. They have no respect for the animals — all boats go to the same place, chasing dolphins at high speed with loud music and no limits. We didn’t visit the locations mentioned on the product page. Snorkeling was nice but they only had one mask size, which was too small for me. There was also another person on the boat taking photos and videos, and afterward he asked for 70€ to get them. Overall, the experience was bad, except for the first snorkeling spot, which was the only good part.

Great, this is the activity not to be missed
The best outing she did, the speed boat is too beautiful and comfortable, the captain friendly and made us laugh. We have seen the dolphins a multiple time in their natural environment. the snorking stops are magic.The photos are a little expensive, but to negotiate.

Dolphin outing
Beautiful excursion well organized and supervised except the dolphins where there are so many boats that it is impossible to swim with them and it becomes dolphin hunting ...

Dolphins tour with nice staff
I was worried that we might not see any dolphins during today’s dolphin tour, but luckily, we spotted them in the last hour of the trip! The captain and tour staff were incredibly friendly, and they made sure we could enjoy snorkeling at several spots in case we couldn’t find dolphins. The captain is a true music lover and full of energy. I definitely recommend this tour!
