A well planned activity - Well planned activity,
We booked this tour only 6 hours before the start time, we were picked up from grand baie by a friendly driver Jay, his driving skills were very good
We had the best day ever with some snorkeling and some cocktails by the beach
We were told that its our luckyday to see all these dolphins so near.
The crew helped us in every way they could.
Thank you so much for this wonderful day.

Just amazing - Thank you for arranging such a delightful journey for us again . we had a pleasant experience with dolphins at île au benitiers
The guide did check the weather forecast before going truly the weather was clear and lovely
The boat crew were friendly ,food received (BBQ) were tasty also they had a unique dessert which was the grilled banana that was delicious #flavourful
We did see lots of dolphins they were very close to our boat
I was mesmerized to see a vast variety of colorful fishes , corals underwater from snorkeling
All the pickups and drop offs were done on time
A special thanks to PARADISE IN YOUR PALM TOURS CO LTD

Great Day on the Water - We were picked up at our ship promptly and delivered to the beach for our day on the water. Our two-man crew were great. We visited the dolphins with no rush to leave and then went snorkeling. Afterward we had a great bbq lunch on the beach. Everyone was happy with everything.

Go for it - it‘s worth the money - On arrival at the beach, when they were kind of forming the groups to distribute them on different boats, it seemed very unorganized. They could have for example asked about people‘s language BEFORE putting them on boats together.
But other than that it was an unforgettable tour.
Seeing dolphins in the wild is quite something.
The food was good - don‘t expect five-star though! Lunch will be on an island with no infrastructure!
The guides were very forthcoming!

Poorly run not worth the money - Was very poorly organised. Just taken to a deserted beach to a man with a pen and a pad. It looked like we were going to be trafficked. No water as stated. Small boat guide barely spoke English. Appreciate you cannot control nature and they did give it a good try for us to swim with the dolphins but without flippers, way too hard. We thought these may be provided with snorkelling equipment as they have on other trips.
Food was pretty good. But all in all not the day we were expecting. When you arrive back there is no one to meet you. You just have to hope your car turns up for the return journey.

Wish I had gone on another trip! - Taxi came 30mins early at 6am.
Waited on the beach on arrival no one knew what was happening.
Put onto speed boats. 20 persons as said only allowed 19 persons.
The boat ride was good high speed,
Just snorkelling in sea. No Life jackets supplied.
Didn’t see any dolphins or any other sea life. But did think while on boat we wouldn’t.
BBQ ok, but there was no washing facilities I’m sure if Dave to eat!!
If just want a sea boat ride & swim in sea, go on trip.. but if want to see dolphins do not go!

Disappointed - Our trip is cancelled a few hours before, this is the second trip that Paradise In your Palms Tour cancelled. Do not make use of them.
