Amazing trip 👍 - It’s great trip and snorkeling with Dolphins 👍 but it’s taking long time around 12 hours from hotel to back again so take more snacks with you 👍

A great journey form snorkelling enthusiasts - lots of dolphins - This tour is definitely worth doing. It's 2 hours drive to the marina - 2 hours on the boat to the reef and a couple of hours at the reef - all told about 12 hours. The bus always stops at a little shop on the way so you can get a coffee/drink and snacks to tie you over. Some hotels do breakfast bags - mine didn't - so it's good they stop over. This tour is not suitable for non swimmers or poor swimmers, as you have to swim fast sometimes over a long distance to see the dolphins as they move really quickly. You do also need to have the basics of snorkelling otherwise it's not an enjoyable journey for you. Some non swimmers were being pulled along on a safety ring and couldn't look under water at all.I'm only giving a 4 star review because of the sheer number of tourists there as scrabbling to see the dolphins, getting kicked multiple times by inexperienced swimmers and snorkellers. The water should have been crystal clear it was a bit murky I suspect from the number of RIB boats whizzing round trying to search for the dolphins. But they promised dolphins and dolphins there were, and it was not a wasted journey The boat was in good condition. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food served was good. Free drinks were provided throughout the boat journey. End note.... at the gates of the marina after your tour there are loads of local kids trying to sell stuff and they are VERY persistent and even try and get on the bus or open the windows from the outside. Please be thoughtful and take some cat snacks or food from your hotel as the many cats there will really appreciate it.

Good to do, in a flat sea day. - The dolphins are not for sure, that s part of life.the lagoon and the reef are very pretty, definitely less boats that the other option, but it was a long way on a very rough sea. And nobody told us is gonna be that bad. all the passengers were lying down with sea sickness .
