Amazing Experience. My kids absolutely loved it (as I did) and the way the team treated my mother (who has asthma) was amazing. They treated her like a VIP instead of someone with a heath condition. They also went out of their way to help her be able to experience the dolphins with us.

Definitely worth it. We were collected by Jude who was fantastic. She gave us commentary on the trip up of the local sights. The dolphin swim itself was amazing. So fantastic to see these beautiful animals in the sea and not in some pool. Definitely 100% worth it!

An amazing opportunity to get up close and interact with dolphins in the wild. The water had gotten choppy in the morning, but after putting our group on hold for a bit the waves calmed down. We got four drops and saw dolphins at all of them. Most of them aren't interested, so you need to be quick to swim near them before they swim past. That being said, one dolphin at our second drop swam in a couple circles with me, which was one of the most magical experiences ever!
