We went on a dolphin tour today. Unfortunately, the lady driving the boat was very rude to both the passengers and her own staff, which took away from the experience. That said, the rest of the staff were absolutely amazing… friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome.
We went out and a family and had the most amazing day. The skipper Heidi was super knowledgeable and had so many great facts about the local wildlife. Great to see such enthusiastic crew! We were amongst hundreds of dolphins only within about an hour of departure ! One of the greatest experiences, especially for the kids. Couldn't recommend this trip any more
We had an amazing time on our dolphin cruise and swim! Heidi and Lizzie were absolutely awesome as our guides and boat skipper. They were super knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure everyone had the best experience. We were lucky enough to see over 100 dolphins and even got to swim with them — truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment! The boat ride itself was smooth and enjoyable, and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. This experience exceeded all expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
Even though swimming with the dolphins wasn’t possible due to juveniles being present in their pod, the experience was still absolutely amazing. I saw so many dolphins for the first time—easily more than 50! Watching them swim and leap through the water was breathtaking. It was a magical and unforgettable adventure, perfect for anyone who loves marine life. Highly recommend it!
We had the most amazing experience on this seafari, apparently we got super lucky because we ended up spitting 4 different dolphin pods. Didn’t get to swim with the dolphins since all the pods had juveniles, but still it was amazing to just enjoy them from the boat and learn all about them from the crew.
Wonderful trip, great friendly staff and a magic day on the water. Dolphins were somewhere else sadly but can go again another time
What a great time! They have a lovely crew, with a boat where you can sit out on the bow and enjoy the scenery. We saw sooo many dolphins, they were swimming all around us while we were in the water. Honestly this trip is a bargain, and I can't recommend it enough.
My son and I had the best time! We saw whales, sharks and heaps of dolphins. The crew is knowledgeable and passionate about what they do and it shows. I’d highly recommend this once-in-a-lifetime trip with this company in particular.
100 out of 5 stars.We absolutely enjoyed our dolphin watching tour. The crews are so friendly and informative. The dive master lady kept looking for dolphins for 4hours and finally she pointed us a large pod of dolphins so closely. We took lots of videos of lovely dolphins.I reckon the number should be more than fifty. Lots of fun. Highly recommend.
