    Absolutely amazing, but unfortunately Viator did not say you can swim with the Dolphins on this trip, which was very disappointing that Viator just mentioned Dolphin tour. Apart from that the Staff were amazing.

    Must do Dolphin experience.

    Jo_H, Feb 2025
    This was a fabulous experience, we were lucky enough to find two pods of dolphins on our trip, their interaction with the boat was marvellous. The guides were well informed with dolphin facts and It is a “must do” activity especially for overseas guests. We will definitely be doing it again.

    Boating great, swimming with dolphins is not much

    Pieter_A, Mar 2026
    On board it was great, a boat trip at sea to the dolphin spots. We sailed to 3 different spots. What I wouldn't advise is "to swim with the dolphin" You hang in a net under the catamaran so you can see the dolphins swimming in front of you. Can also be done from the boat, and later still hanging on a rope behind the boat. After 15 minutes I took off the diving suit. I would only recommend the boat trip, which is great.
