Very successful and beautiful trip - It was all very well organized and went as planned. The tour was very nice and the staff super friendly. The boat was clean and everyone had enough space. You have enough places in the shade and also in the sun, there is something for everyone. The bathing stops were in very nice places and also sufficient in length. The highlight for the children was of course the mini disco with foam party. All in all highly recommended. Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins, but the organizer can't help it.

Fab trip - Fantastic way to spend a day. Transferred to the boat was on time and a smooth journey. The beach where the boat stopped was stunning, beautiful clear water. The lunch was absolutely delicious and efficiently served. Toilets spotlessly clean. The drinks included in the price are served in small plastic cups, so a bit of a pain walking up n down from the top deck. Sadly no dolphins were spotted, but still a great trip. The only minus points for us were the fact that the sunbeds are just pads on the floor placed very close together. The music was absolutely awful and far too loud.

Don't do catastrophic! - Not recommended! The crew is trying. The prices on board were excessively expensive- soft drinks 0.3 for 3€, beer 0.33l 5€. Three stops are made, but in one place twice (river mouth) and at the “Dolphin Island”. The resting place at the mouth is absolutely run down and resembles a dump. Animals will probably never be seen on “Dolphin Island”, as 10 large party boats are felt to be lying there, with 300 people in the water. My opinion - all just show and talk. On the way back, people were stopped tens of times to take dinghies to their hotels. The salad at lunch was cooked....- Not recommended- lengthy, boring, unpleasant.

I do not recommend.... - I don't recommend it. Late departure to see dolphins, so we didn’t see anything. The translation of the visit into English was very poor. I do not recommend this experience.
