Watch and Swim with Dolphins in the Wild

This was, hands down, the best experience I’ve had on a trip. The staff are super knowledgeable - actual biologists - who tell you about dolphins and other sea creatures ahead of the trip. They are so kind and helpful once out at the dive location. My daughter got scared (she’s 8, and while excited, the size of the dolphins got very real, very quickly once in the water), and they offered help and comfort to her to make her feel safe and engaged. They had plenty cold drinks which they readily offered to ensure no one got dehydrated. They were concerned primarily with safety of guests and dolphins. They did not bait dolphins with food and were concerned that we were only swimming with pods that were out for fun (no mamas with babies). Truly a magical experience and made all the better by the incredible staff. If I could give it 6 stars I would.

Fabulous We swam with the dolphins. Gemma was a great guide! Thanks to her!

Wonderful experience, we were very lucky, we were all able to swim with the dolphins! I recommend it 1000 percent.

Incredible experience. They took us with patience to where we could swim with the dolphins and how lucky we were. We swam with them for more than 10 minutes. Super recommended!!

Words cannot describe how beautiful this experience is. All of the guides (Jemma especially!) were just so knowledgeable and created such a magical experience. We took turns in smaller groups getting in the water with the dolphins and had plenty of time to see them - it's just so special to get to play with dolphins on their own terms, in their own space/ home. Highly recommend this tour! The focus on respecting the animals is so evident and important and it really was an honor to get to share space for a few hours with such incredible beings. And please never swim with captive dolphins. It's horrible for them.

Me and my girlfriend took this trip on my birthday. I was looking forward to this being the highlight of my trip to PV. I did four events this weekend they all went great. All started off well with this event until… you start with a good in depth 20 min lesson on the wildlife and what to expect. But after that our boat was not ready for departure. We had to wait nearly 45 mins after the class to finally board. Our tour guide was a lovely, smart woman that made us feel welcome and comfortable. Booking this doesn’t guarantee interaction with dolphins which I was prepared for. So if you’re willing to GAMBLE your money on a two hour boat ride in the ocean so be it. We seen about four dolphins for a couple of seconds. After we gave up looking for dolphins the tour guide said we can jump in the water if we want. So we all jumped in a swam for a few minutes. She sung me happy birthday which was pretty nice. All and all I was a little disappointed but just know you’re gambling with your money. I’m sure it would’ve been amazing if we got the chance to swim with the dolphins.

The swimmers are divided into groups so that there are not so many in the water. It was all too hectic for me, as you jump into the water when dolphins are sighted and try to swim after them. On my excursion, they all swam away immediately and we had to go back to the boat. The whole thing lasted maybe 5 minutes. I had imagined that you would be in the water a bit longer and let the dolphins come to you.

It was such a fun experience! The presentation beforehand was very educational, and Jema was so knowledgeable, kind, positive, and accommodating. She’s been doing this for 23 years, so we felt completely at ease throughout the tour. Seeing the wild dolphins was amazing! It felt like we were following them in their natural habitat, and some even came to swim and play with us. Everything happened organically, which made it even more special. Caesar was also a great captain, and the two of them made the whole experience so enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour, it was absolutely worth it!

We had an amazing time seeing the dolphins in their natural habitat and even being close to them in the water! Our guide, Gemma, and captain of the boat are professional marine biologists and very familiar with the various groups of dolphins we encountered. I highly recommend this tour and will be doing it again next time we are in PV!

Amazing 11/10 experience. The informational session before getting on the boat was interesting and informative. We went as a family of 5 with 3 kids (8, 10 and 13). Everybody had so much fun, we were able to get in the water with the dolphins multiple times and experience them swimming right around us, even mothers with their babies! Gena is so knowledgeable about dolphins and was able to identify some of the ones we saw and discuss their behaviors. She is very passionate about dolphins and I felt like she really wanted everybody to have a good experience and be able to see/swim with them. We went with 6 other people and had a blast, I felt like everybody had a lot of time in the water even with breaking up into 2 groups. She provided snorkel masks and water/juice/soda. Our boat driver Cesar was excellent at getting us close and helping the swimmers spot the dolphins in the water. We came from a cruise, it was an easy 10 minute taxi ride to the location. I had trouble booking with Viator for some reason, but I reached out by email and Gena was very communicative and messaged me immediately and got my family booked for the next day. We had an amazing time and would do it again in a heartbeat if we visit again!
