A must do!!! - What an amazing experience. This was rhe highlight of our trip. From our driver Raj, to David to our Skipper, they were well organized, helpful and friendly. The ski boat was a treat, the dolphins and snorkeling was immensely enjoyable. The Island is beautiful, the water shallow and warm, the food was tasty and more than enough. I would do this again and again and again.

Great experience - I had a great experience with Paradise in Your Palm Tours..it was my first time at Ile aux Benitiers.. super well spent. A nice team well helpful and welcoming on board the Speedboat. I had the opportunity to see dolphins close to me. And finally I made scuba diving .. a very nice unforgettable experience alongside super friendly people. Thanks to the team.
I highly recommend it.

Pleasant - A good day spent as a couple despite a long wait before starting the day. We arrived on site at 7:15 am to board around 8:30 am.
We did not swim with dolphins but only filmed them during their swims because it is really a dolphin hunt. All the boats present, rush on the dolphins with about twenty swimmers who jump and flee it is a shame.
Regarding the rest of the day very good atmosphere, very beautiful and paradisiacal beaches

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.
