Basically it was a nice trip. The speedboat ride was fun and the captain was very dedicated. The snorkeling was okay. That was it, then.
Swimming with dolphins is definitely a lie, which of course annoys me as it is explicitly in the description. We were allowed to see 3 dolphins from afar and for that they were also chased back and forth by 3 boats. On White Island, there was no shadow on the boat for us, the only thing that caused us all to burn mercilessly. Especially to the suffering of my children, 9 and 12. Although I asked several times if we could sail again, we had to stay there until all the other boats had sailed. When we wanted to stop afterwards, because we didn't want to snorkel on a reef again, because our skin was burning (LF50 didn't help), it was only possible with discussion.
What a pity is the deviation of the description and the expectation from what is then really offered.
