Beautiful, ethical trip - Great morning thank you! We managed to see both dolphins and whales on the trip. I recommend being a stronger swimmer than myself to try keep up with dolphins but I got a nice view from the front of the boat. It seemed difficult to find a trip that I knew wouldn’t harass the creatures so it was really nice to have guides that explained and respected the laws and the animals. Little private speedboats encouraging people to swim with whale mothers and calves causing them distress ruins the experience for everyone

Fantastic company and experience - What a fantastic experience, our captain Lino and his mate Jason were excellent, we know we were lucky, we saw and swam with Spinner Dolphins almost immediately, then went to find the Whales, the crew were in contact with other boats and when they heard of a sighting, we were off, on the way we spotted one on our own so were the first boat to arrive to see these special creatures. In total we saw 6 sperm whales and the crew were very respectful of them, unlike some of the other boats. Would absolutely recommend Dolswim. Thank you for a bucket list item ticked off.

A whale tale! - Great tour! Lino and Yoni were extremely patient and never rushed us. They gave us multiple opportunities to swim with the dolphins. We also got to see a huge sperm whale, and the crew waited another 45mins just to see if it may resurface again. I'd recommend this company if you're looking for a wonderful day out on the water.

Dolphin and sperm whale with dolsmim - Beautiful experience with highly qualified people as well as animal friendly. Despite a stormy sea very well piloted the boat, we see the experience.

An eventful tour with consideration for the animals! - The visitors were divided into small groups among the boats and the skippers were very friendly and dedicated. The dolphin and whale watching did not resemble a rush, as is the case with some other tours. The animals were respected, which is very important to us personally. We were lucky, saw sperm whales and were allowed to swim with dolphins - an absolutely unique experience!

Stunning morning out at sea! 🐬🐋🐠 - Stunning morning out at sea! 🐬🐋🐠Saw a huge pod of Spinner dolphins, also bottle-nose dolphins and took a long trip out to see sperm whales, breaching etc on way back snorted on the reef….. it was stunning! Our boat respected distance of marine life but sadly others did not as people desperate to get so close to swim with dolphins and whales! Extremely bumpy ride!

Glad to see dolphins - Very pleasant experience, we saw dolphins, but the weather is bad, waves are big, and you can't see whales. Dolswim company is good and promises a refund for the part of whales not seen.

Cute Boat Tour - No whale watching - Dolphins were many to see, which was definitely great! And also the view from the boat to the coast was great. As a boat trip it was definitely nice, but if you prefer to see whales (like us) is rather wrong here. Contrary to the description, no hydrophone was used to search for whales. Besides, we didn't go far enough out to maximize the chance of seeing whales. Also we were already back at the beach at just after 10 am (after just 3 hours). 4-5 hours were indicated. Of course, we haven't seen any whales. Our guides said it would not have been good conditions, but not much effort was made to find them either.
