Wish I had gone on another trip!

Catherine_F, Feb 2024
Taxi came 30mins early at 6am. Waited on the beach on arrival no one knew what was happening. Put onto speed boats. 20 persons as said only allowed 19 persons. The boat ride was good high speed, Just snorkelling in sea. No Life jackets supplied. Didn’t see any dolphins or any other sea life. But did think while on boat we wouldn’t. BBQ ok, but there was no washing facilities I’m sure if Dave to eat!! If just want a sea boat ride & swim in sea, go on trip.. but if want to see dolphins do not go!

Disappointed

Our trip is cancelled a few hours before, this is the second trip that Paradise In your Palms Tour cancelled. Do not make use of them.

Poorly run not worth the money

Melanie_F, May 2023
Was very poorly organised. Just taken to a deserted beach to a man with a pen and a pad. It looked like we were going to be trafficked. No water as stated. Small boat guide barely spoke English. Appreciate you cannot control nature and they did give it a good try for us to swim with the dolphins but without flippers, way too hard. We thought these may be provided with snorkelling equipment as they have on other trips. Food was pretty good. But all in all not the day we were expecting. When you arrive back there is no one to meet you. You just have to hope your car turns up for the return journey.

Great Day on the Water

We were picked up at our ship promptly and delivered to the beach for our day on the water. Our two-man crew were great. We visited the dolphins with no rush to leave and then went snorkeling. Afterward we had a great bbq lunch on the beach. Everyone was happy with everything.

Go for it - it‘s worth the money

Roland_B, Nov 2022
On arrival at the beach, when they were kind of forming the groups to distribute them on different boats, it seemed very unorganized. They could have for example asked about people‘s language BEFORE putting them on boats together. But other than that it was an unforgettable tour. Seeing dolphins in the wild is quite something. The food was good - don‘t expect five-star though! Lunch will be on an island with no infrastructure! The guides were very forthcoming!

Nice experience
