Side:Dolphin Island Boat Trip in Side

I don't even know where to start. Myself and my other half booked the Dolphin island boat trip and it was nothing short of a awful day out. We were promised that goggles and snorkels were provided by the tour guide - this is untrue We were promised there were no extra costs - this is massively untrue We were told that all non alcoholic drinks were free - also untrue We went up the river and came to a dead end, turned around and went back - this was clearly to waste time. Our first stop was at the beach where the river and sea meet, the beach was utterly filthy, covered in broken glass, cigarette ends, plastic bottles and empty packets. To add insult to injury we had only stopped for 45 minutes and they wanted €2 for a sun bed..... Oh and they also want €2 for Wi-fi Back on the boat, the toilets are horrific, broken tiles, dirty toilets full to the brim with urine and toilet roll. We then carried on to the so called " Dolphin island '..... It turned out that Dolphin Island was a mere rock with a flag on it and an easy swim away from the coastline. We were told there would be Dolphins and Turtles to see, this was untrue, we didn't even see a fish, this is probably something to do with them emptying the toilets into the sea - with two people swimming I would like to add. We then chugged along in the boat for another two hours, with the so called foam party going on upstairs - this was pouring down onto the lower deck onto half of the people most of which had children and infants. Towards us coming to the river again two men decided to jump from the boat - I can't blame them because I almost done the same. But because of this the whole boat was punished and our final stop was cancelled. Safe to say no one was overly impressed. It was by far the worst excursion I have ever been on. To add insult to injury, they all stood with a tip box at the end as you get off the boat, that they merrily shake in your face as you depart. Avoid at all costs, it's completely wasted a day of our holiday and cost us money that we know we won't get back.

Absolutely shocking, avoid this trip like the plague, upon booking we was promised no extra costs other than alcoholic drinks, this is a lie, fruit juice, sun beds, WiFi, and snacks, all come with extra cost, the first stop at a small beach was pathetic, the beach was covered in broken glass, litter, face masks and discarded plasters, the 2nd stop at dolphin island ( much resembling a rock with a flag stuck on top) was for 30mins, not a dolphin or turtle to be seen, not even a fish, the lunch provided was edible but a child’s portion. On booking a snorkel and mask was promised, another lie. And then your offered a professional photo taken with a parrot that had obviously had its wings clipped, this proved an accurate observation when the photographer dropped it into the ocean by accident, yes he was saved, but shocking to observe. Our final stop was cancelled when 2 people decided to jump overboard, whilst waiting for them to be picked up the captain decided to empty the toilet tanks into a beautiful ocean, please please don’t waste your hard earned money and a day of your precious holiday on this trip.

Fantastische boottocht! We hebben geluk gehad en zowel dolfijnen als zeeschildpadden gezien. Ook het eten was top! Een echte aanrader voor jong en oud.. met als als afsluiter een schitterende schuimfuif!
