We saw a pod of rare dolphins - Oh my! What a beautiful day! What a fun time with such a good crew. We saw pygmy fake killer whale dolphins and then went to a reef and were able to snorkel and see lots of tropical fish, sea urchins and coral. I would highly recommend and would love to do it again.

Nice memories. - I had a very nice view from the boat. I couldn't find dolphins, but it was a valuable experience to see whales up close. We had some Japanese speaking staff and enjoyed it safely.

One of the best excursions of my life!! - Best tour I've ever done!!! We saw everything, dolphins hunting fish. Then we found a family with a baby dolphin and we got off the boat and saw them by the water from afar, when we got on to continue traveling they came with more relatives and danced us for a while!! And finally incredible the place where you are taken to see turtles, there was a giant with another little girl and apart from that many different types of fish. The team worked super complete, very good wave, the best energy!! I recommend it infinitely, do not miss it!!
(Bonus tmb we saw manta rays and sharks but that was on our lucky day)

3rd time or any time is the charm - Epic experience.
Shout out to Rebecca, Lauren, and.. T(spelling?) Sorry T*, you were awesome too, but I wasn't sure how to spell name, I would have totally butchered it!
These guides are leaders! Made me feel welcome, infirmative, passionate, and super friendly.
I can now tell people I've swam alongside Dolphins now. Took a few tries to catch their routes, but eventually we caught a large family swim right through us, it was awesome. The boat that took us out is super fast and efficient too, so no slow going!
Highly recommended!!!!!

We saw turtles and so many beautiful fish! Also, we saw flying fish which was a first for me! So cool! Definitely will be a return customer!!!

Perfect tour with kind staffs - I booked speedboat tour, but informed that the tour was cancelled and they replaced to catamaran tour on another time.
I was pretty satisfied with catamaran since I had a strong sea sick on the boat, even I've heard catamaran is more stable.
Tour does not provide any pills for sea sick, so please please take the pills in advance. Ocean for dolphin swimming is strongly choppy that causes sick for many people.
All staffs were really kind, nice and helpful on everything, they tried their best to watch dolphins for everyone and we succeed to watch dolphins in the water, with a very close distance.
We couldn't see turtles and fishes a lot, only saw one turtle which was very far, and there were huge amount of jelly fish instead of tropical fish. It was more like swimming in the jelly fish soup, so please wear long sleeves.
Photos take $65 extra, but it's worth the price if someone can dive well. We've got a lot of good diving photos.

Staff were very friendly.... - Staff were very friendly. Safety always priority.
Just disappointing we didn’t get to swim with any dolphins. Also. This was the end of our vacation and we had been to many great snorkeling areas and the place we stopped at to snorkel was not a good snorkel. Don’t get me wrong a three hour boat ride of the coast of paradise was great….just missing the final wow!
