Had great day on boat with Jerome and Miguel. Also we had a smooth transport from hotel to the meeting point w Nitesh. I read previous comments before taking the tour and was nervous about if we would disturb the dolphins. But i think they enjoy making fool out of people. They made circles and come up again and repeat. If they wanted to leave they could just continue swimming ahead. But they were also coming back which surprised me in a good way… I highly recommend this tour 😃

Swimming with the Dolphins is a marketing strategy, it is almost impossible to swim with wild Dolphins in their natural environment. Safety was a huge concern, no life jackets was offered or concern of who can swim. Whale and dolphin watching was good. The food on the beach was great.

Maravillosa experiencia para nadar con delfines. La recogida en el hotel muy puntual y el transfer al hotel fantástico. La barbacoa es de 5 estrellas, en una isla de ensueño. Vistas y experiencias muy recomendables. La pena que como españoles nadie hablaba nuestro idioma, pero con el inglés nos entendíamos.
