Dolphin, turtle, and sunset dhow - Mr P. was amazing and very accommodating. Swimming with the dolphins and the sandbar was amazing. We felt very secure with him.

Amazing experience - What an amazing experience. We were able to not only see the dolphins but supported to get in and swim with them. Then snorkelling and swimming with all the fish to waking on a scenic sand bank. We then went to the turtles and were able to get in feed them and they were majestic. Finishing it off with a lovely sunset cruise. Everyone involved in transport, captains and keeping the day flowing were so friendly and helpful. Would definitely do this again

Turtles and Dolphins with Jigaboy and Abas - My wife and I had a unique and great experience today! We went to see the turtles and the dolphins. Have been on multiple sunset cruises so we wanted to bypass that. The dolphins were amazing and you are out in the water for a while. The turtles were VERY unique. Very elegant. I would recommend not being scared or too loud as they may take a nip at you but it won’t hurt. Be calm and patient, you can move them out of your way but they are very big turtles. Our guides were Abas and Jigaboy and they were really calm and very good people to be around! Overall y we had a great time!!

Great value with awesome guide! - This was a lovely experience, particularly because of our guide Abas and driver, Mickie. We were picked up from our hotel right on time in a clean, safe vehicle. We arrived to our first destination where we were fitted for snorkel hear and connected with our boat captain and snorkel guide. The playful dolphins were fun to see and the snorkeling provided so many engaging views as we were led by an attentive guide who pointed out key views. We had fresh fruit snacks and great conversation. From there, we went to the aquarium where we connected with sea turtles. Abas made sure we had food for our new turtle friends and this experience was amazing. We had a great lunch stop before heading to the sunset sail. The sail takes about 2 hours and there is live music with fruit included and drinks available for purchase. As a shorter person, views were a bit challenged by the other passengers, but the weather was gorgeous. Anticipate getting quite wet getting on and off the boat and consider a towel or even poncho to protect the car seats after the boat exit if you don't bring some dry clothes. Overall, a great value and a wonderful day, particularly due to Abas and Mickie being responsive, flexible guides. The sea turtles were truly awe-inspiring, so amazing!

Beautiful - The experience was beautiful. I do not wear a 5/5 because there was no vest for those who can not swim but also wanted to dive. Ibrahim the guide was very kind especially to our child!

Poor experience - 100 small boats chasing two dolphins. Extremely dangerous and we didn’t swim with any dolphin. It might have been bad luck. But the team was unprofessional and there no life jackets. Boats were rafts with 15 hp motors. Not what it looks like in the add. The turtles were very good though. And the afternoon cruise was ok. Just ok. I wouldn’t recommend it overall. You can go to the aquarium by yourself and see the turtles.

Uff so I can not recommend it.... - Dear people, let's look at the positive: the pickup was on time and by two very nice gentlemen, one of whom even spoke quite good German and we got into conversation on the way. First we went to the dolphins. I was handed over to another guide and I was already sitting on the boat. The other guide explained nothing more. The skipper went the wrong way and so we only saw dolphins quite late. I was then also allowed into the water, but the boatmaster had so little control of his boat that I suffered thick bruises during the three jumps into the water. It was over after only two of four hours as the guide said 2x dolphins are enough. Afterwards we went to a completely overcrowded snorkel spot where I had trouble finding the boat again. There was half a watermelon and a few pieces of pineapple. That's it with the snacks. It went to the turtles. No briefing no explanation nothing. And the water was really challenging. The guide left me alone once again. Since we were excited and the short boat trip still had far too virl time to go with the Dho, I had to wait two hours in the blazing sun on the beach. The dho was completely overcrowded and we docked just as the sun was setting. So little seen of the sunset. In the beginning we stopped again 4 times to accommodate more passengers. So I didn't think it was stunning now.

Not worth it - The dolphin swim - how do I explain in a hundreds characters that it is honestly not recommend? The boats are all over clustered together. As soon as a dolphin surfaces for air all the boats race to and group around the area where the dolphin was spotted. Engine fumes everywhere making you feel nauseous. You spot the dolphin for literally a second or less. Rince and repeat....Terrible experience. Not worth it AT ALL!! And don't think you will "swim"with the dolphins. That's nonsense. Animal cruelty in my opinion. The reef snorkeling - the reef is dead. Nothing to see there. The fish is there because they get fed fruits. No other reason. If you like swimming I guess then it's OK. Yes, you do get lost between all the boats. You will take some time and energy to find your boat. Make sure you know how your boat looks like. At least my skipper kept an eye out to direct me back to my boat.
