The opportunity to swim with whales is a privilege. The act of swimming with whales is an art. Every day is different on the water, and every encounter is unique. We swim with whales most days, but on some days this may only be briefly. Other days we swim for longer periods.

Great positivity! - What a great skipper staff- they were so adventerous, passionate, motivated and did everything they could do in order for us to see any sea animals! And eventually we even saw whalesharks, which were apparently a lucky strike! Thanks for this unforgettable memory and this positive attititute we experienced on your boat! 100% recommended :)

Worth the wait - We were out there searching for hours but swimming with a 25 metre fin whale is something I’ll never forget and I’ll tell everyone I can about it. The company and the guys running it were professional, helpful and communicated efficiently. Would definitely recommend.

Great hosts, whales can be elusive - Very friendly hosts. Can be a very bumpy ride at times but you’re out in the beautiful Indian Ocean. They guide as well as one can trying to find whales out in the deep water. Can be hit or miss, we chased one whale for awhile and that was the only one we saw in the 4 hours, but the excitement when you see one is fantastic. Snacks and drinks supplied. Ended the day with a nice easy snorkel with some sea turtles.

Totally overpriced! - ZRI hands the tour over to the local provider. On site it costs 200€ instead of 300€ ! And then didn't even see a whale.

Good, but overpriced - It was enjoyable, and we did swim with a Whale shark which obviously was very exciting, but I do think this trip is overpriced for what it is. Had the cost been less, I would have put 5 stars

An expensive gamble - Did not see any whales when I went out which was unfortunate considering the high price. Know it’s luck of the draw and the staff did a great job trying to make this a good experience. They also had a high degree of professionalism. My advice to ZRI: make the base fee lower (I.e. less than $100) and then increase the bonus fee based on the amount and types of animals you see. Paying $200 for a few Dolphins and a very bumpy ride simply wasn’t worth it to me.
