Once in a lifetime experience! - The trip really was a once in a lifetime experience, we saw plenty of dolphins and were able to get into the water and swim with them. We were also lucky enough to see whales and got so close to them but did not swim with them. Just cruising alongside them in the boat was breathtaking. The skipper and guides were so friendly and knowledgeable and really looked after everyone on the boat, making sure everyone got a chance to see and swim with the dolphins. This was the highlight of our trip and I would highly recommend this tour!!

Whale encounter - It was a breathtaking expression to see a whale so close to your boat. Usually they do not surface or are found in deeper ocean during summer months..but i thank viator for arranging such a wonderful trip.. Dolphins are everywhere but jumping in water to swim with them is a foolish idea..

Dolphins and whales encounter experience - We highly recommend Dolswim for a hassle-free 'Dolphins and Whales Encounter'experience. Everything from the booking to the boat ride ran smoothly. The staff Fletcher and Julien were very professional and knowledgeable. We learned about the different whales and dolphins species. We felt very safe on board with them. We appreciated the briefing before the start of the trip. They abided by all the safety rules. Wearing lifejackets on board and whilst swimming with the dolphins was compulsory. The snorkelling spot they brought us to was pristine and crystal clear- perfect to admire the fish. Overall, we enjoyed our first encounter with the whales.

Don’t hesitate to book - Dolswim are fantastic. - The skipper Stewart and his watcher Sidney were fantastic. Dolswim are safety conscious, care about the welfare of the animals whilst also ensuring we had a great experience. They explained why they keep their distance which proves they are much more concerned about the animals than some of the other boat trips that we saw out on the sea. We had many opportunities to get in the water with the dolphins and spent a lot of time watching them play. We had time to snorkel around the coral and see some beautiful fish. There was no rush for this to end, infact I had swam enough and got out and Sidney reassured me I could stay in longer if I wanted to. We then took the trip out to where the Whales might be. Again our expectations were managed and told there was only 60% chance of seeing them. Well they certainly came to show, we saw 2 big tail flips and 3 other whales cruising along. It was certainly an exceptional experience. Sidney and Stewart were mindful of the Whales and how to not cause them distress, unlike another boat who allowed the passengers to get in the water nearby. Overall we couldn’t have had a better trip. Dolswim are certainly the company to use for being much more mindful and caring do these beautiful creatures.

Respect and Protect the Dophines and Whales! We did just that! - This tour with Dolswim was absolut fantastic! The boat captain Clovis and his spotter Conrad were amazing in the way how they showed us the animals. After we received a brief safety and info summary, we went off to search….and we were lucky that we could find both sperm whales and humpback whales. Furthermore we went to see spinner dolphins. Clovis kept a respectful distance so the whales and dolphins so that no animal was in distress or disturbed…..something you can not say to the competition. They almost drove over the animals, chasing them like a fox hunt. I'm happy we had chosen the right boat trip where we learnt about our swimming friends and remained respectful and protective to them. Thanks!

The trip was amazing and... - The trip was amazing and the crew were absolutely brilliant. They prioritise the animal welfare and the emphasis is always to respect the animals.

Amazing experience - Amazing experience, super recommended! The only company that has a very respectful approach to the natural habitat of whales and dolphins. We saw humpback whales and two different species of dolphins, swimming with them has been a crazy and exciting experience at the same time. Thank’s Dolswim!

Amazing experience - I had the time of my life, whale watching and swimming with the dolphins. We saw Humpback whales and Sperm whales and 2 groups of dolphins that we had the opportunity to swim with. Snorkelling at a reef to finish things off

Good marks for Dolswim - Good opportunity to see dolphins and whales, and we did see a hump whale and her calf. The boat crew was really nice and I would recommend the company, Dolswim. The crew provided a good safety briefing and were more respectful than others of the animals, not getting so much in their way. But too many boats chasing the dolphins spoils the experience. We did not try to swim with the dolphins, too many boats and people in the water and dolphins disappearing each time people jumped. Nevertheless a unique experience, especially the whale watching.

Highlight of the holiday but left with a bitter feeling - Mixed feelings come to mind in writing this view. The good - the crew were friendly, it felt well organised and clear on safety. Swimming with dolphins was the absolute highlight of the holiday, it was truly magical to be with them in the water and something we will never forget. The less good - after swimming for a little while with the dolphins we moved on and as it transpired, went back to where the tour started to do some snorkelling (it was difficult to know how far out we were as we had to travel for a long time to find the sperm whales). The reef was in a poor condition and visibility not great so none of us stayed in the water long. Once everyone was back on the boat we were asked if we wanted to stay there or to finish the tour 1hr30 earlier than it was meant to. We were then given forms to provide feedback and had to sign them to say we were happy to end the tour early. Firstly, you will never get honest feedback by getting people to fill that in there and then and have to hand it back, so it's pointless in doing it. Secondly, this was incredibly frustrating - we of course didn't want to hang around on a boat, in a bad snorkelling spot for an 1hr30 (and therefore begrudgingly signed the form). However, the crew should have allowed us to stay for another hour with the dolphins (we were lucky as the bottlenose dolphins were in a bay and not travelling so were still there when we left). For context, the dolphins were a good 45min away from where the snorkelling was so we couldn't have asked them to turn back to dolphins at this point - when we were moved on from the dolphins we had no idea where we were in context to where we started. The tour is centred around whales and dolphins so why on earth would you move us on knowing that the snorkelling would be bad and mean the tour would finish early. The only answer to this is that the crew clearly wanted to finish it and go home. As a result, what was a truly amazing experience has left us with a bitter note as we know we could have had another hour with these beautiful creatures and therefore feel a bit robbed of the experience.
