Value for money

Absolutely can't knock it for the price. Quick transfer to the boarding jetty. Aside from the driver getting a bit overzealous and driving off before I was in the van the whole transfer was handled with ease. Plenty of time at each stop for swimming in the sea. Well communicated as to what and when things are happening during the trip. Very accurate on the timings too so you're out on the boat for around 7 hours total. Food was nice too. I'd maybe bring something with you if you have fussy eaters, you got enough chicken, rice, salad and bread to keep you going but my kids weren't keen. Soft drinks are free if you're having them in cups. You can pay for cans, bottles etc but all your paying for is the convenience of not having to walk 10ft to the bar for a cup. Got some lovely framed pictures taken on board too. You can haggle the price with them as with most things but they're reasonably priced. Seemed we had a lot less people on our boat compared to others. Which was great in terms of getting out to swim, although some people saw the steps of the boat as their own personal space so you be constantly asking them to move so you can climb out. Great atmosphere all day. Foam party doing circles out at sea was something I hadn't experienced until yesterday. Have to mention Veysel. His energy never seemed to wain all day. Kept everyone involved in what was going on al day, took some amazing photos and even had the energy to drive the transfer back. Rest of the crew did a great job, shout out to the young lad on the lower deck bar who put an absolute shift in and never stopped smiling. Would recommend.

Cool day in the heat

We had a cozy day at sea. We had booked with hotel transfer and the bus came when it was due. Left us by the boat and stood and waited when we got back. We didn't see any dolphins but it wasn't actually something we expected - if it was, it would have just been a plus at the edge. It was a long day but nice with a day at sea - lovely bath and shade and fan on board.

Tour to Dolphin Island 27/7-26

We were looking forward to seeing dolphins and/or turtles but we were not so lucky. When we stopped at Dolphin Island, the flow in the water was so strong that we would never have reached back to the boat if we hadn’t gotten a lifeguard thrown out. It was not a pleasant experience, but fortunately we survived when the staff on the boat observed the problem. They forgot/overlooked two passengers on the island, on their way home, but they did luckily pay attention to themselves! The food was fine according to the conditions.

Highly recommended.

Completely satisfied. A lot offered for the price: delicious light food, varied entertainment for the whole family, swimming stops great. Not really recommended, only for people who get seasick quickly.. But the dolphin sighting made up for it.
