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.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our tours take place in the open sea, where dolphins live freely in their natural habitat. Unlike an aquarium or marine park, encounters with wild dolphins can never be guaranteed, although sightings are very frequent. This is one of the unique aspects of experiencing wildlife responsibly. We are proud that many of our guests have enjoyed unforgettable dolphin encounters, as reflected in the positive reviews shared over the years. We would also like to clarify that tipping is always completely optional. Our team is never instructed to ask for or pressure guests into leaving a tip. We appreciate your visit and wish you all the best on your future travels.

Beautiful trip to see the dolphins.

Had great experiences with dolphins. We are very satisfied. One should definitely acquire the video of the two snorkeling trips. The quality is very good. 4K!

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!
