Amazing morning!

Victoria_S, Jul 2024

Really amazing experience! The staff running it were lovely and we got so close to the dolphins! Lovely vibes on the boat too and all round great morning :)

Brilliant experience with a professional tour firm

Excellent experience. My wife thoroughly enjoyed it being 6 weeks pregnant. Carl and Allen were really professional, kind and helpful to do their best to ensure our experience reached its maximum potential for mother natures conditions. Carl assisted my wife whilst she was in the water in case the dolohins got excited. Dolphins can detect with their sonar whether a woman is pregnant and can excite them drawing them. Overall a brilliant experience and they came within a metre of my wife and me on several occasions.

Nice to meet you.

We left early and it was worth it. Our guide Alan was great. Arrived on site we were only four boats with few people, we enjoyed well , the dream of a life realized for me.

Un rêve de gosse

On a vu les dauphins super rapidement. Nager avec c’était le top. Les skippers agréables et heureusement que l’un d’entre eux plonge avec nous. Le point négatif c’est que ça fait un peu chasse à l’homme vu que c’est 10/15 bateau qui sont autour des dauphins mais en même temps si ils sont là ils vont pas aller chercher ailleurs. Ps: si vous cherchez le lieu de rdv c’est « jph charters point of embarquation » car on ne nous a rien dit, il a fallut que je les contacte pour le savoir.
