Great day

This was a fantastic day. The crew is attending, offering sea sickness pills at the very beginning, supplied us with wetsuits, flippers and snorkeling masks. Skipper Marc discovered two dolphins, which guided us to a school of about 100 species. There were a lot of baby dolphins, so Marc decided not to let us swim with them. I really appreciate this, because it shows, that they take care of the wellbeing of the animals. Thanks for this experience 👍🤩

Swimming with Dolphins?????

Swimming with dolphins is probably more of an advertising joke. There is always some excuse. Otherwise quite interesting!

Abit of an oversell

This experience is abit of an OVERSELL. $150pp to sit on a boat and look for dolphins all day and then when your lucky enough to find a pod of them , we can’t swim with them due to there being baby’s or young adults , I’m abit confused as wouldn’t most of large pods have baby’s ? A slapped together sussage sizzle on the back of the boat with nothing really to it, very low budget . Snorkeling was good except for it’s in the middle of the day and only lasts a short hour . Overall you spend about 8 hours sitting on the boat looking at the ocean bored and cold .

Hi Chloe, sorry that you didnt enjoy your day with us. I hope that you can appreciate that we are dealing with wild dolphins and in a natural environment that we have no control over. Everyday is different, and yes some days can be a bit hard. We do swim 80% of the time and have a lot of very happy customers. We are happy to offer you a half price trip if you would like to come again, chances are you will get to swim with dolphins. Regards Mark Orca Wild Adventures
