Dolphins. Jump jump jump - Collected from the hotel on time. Collected a couple of other clients on the way to the first stop. Great scenery. Great snorkelling. Then followed the dolphins and was able to jump in and view them swimming with our snorkelling gear. Really well organised and friendly team. Thank you. 100% recommend.

Best excursion ever - It was an unforgettable day. I have been to many places but have never been so close to the dolphins in their natural environment. Everything was perfect and the tour guide made very nice pictures and video. It was just really fantastic. We left around 8 am and were the only ones there l, later there were a lot of boats but ours knew exactly where to go. Fresh fruit blue water and lovely people really a top day.
