You will then head to Tamarin Bay for the dolphin encounter. The skippers will accompany you in the water when it’s your turn to swim with the dolphins.

We had our driver San pick us up at our hotel and give my wife flowers for her birthday, which was very kind of him. He is also a very nice man and was really good to us. The whole day was great we enjoyed every moment of it we got to see alot of Marutuis in a short time and we were very happy. We would like to visit some of these sites and spend more time in the future.

Je changerais le nom de l'activité "nage avec les dauphins" par "sauter avec les dauphins. Je comprends que les dauphins sont sauvages et que nous ne pouvons pas les regarder plus longtemps, ou leurs demander de faire des figures, mais j'ai trouvé cela trop rapide ma femme après deux saut a préféré rester a l'intérieur du bateau et je la comprends car on voyait mieux les dauphins de cette façon. Donc mon conseil profité de les voir dans le bateau mais n'allez pas dans l'eau. Par contre les autres visites au top.

Wonderful day exploring some amazing places. Our driver and guide was exceptional from start to finish and allowed us as much time as we needed at each stop. Dolphins were plentiful and a joy to watch in their natural habitat. A truly remarkable day
