Overall rating

based on 375 reviews

To start, we got invited to another island before that the tour started, it was nice, we got the opportunity to see the island for 2 hours and then they picked us up to continue the tour. They took care of providing information about every place in different languages. There were many options for drinks all the time. The food was good. We saw the dolphins, but they didn't come so close.

Everything was well organized, the food tasted very good, the captain tried very hard to show us the dolphins live several times, which he succeeded in doing. Great explanation from the tour guide about the islands and the nature reserve, as well as the buildings on it.

Wonderful trip!! We had a great time starting with the discovery of St Jerolim Island then taking the boat back, we had the chance to admire dolphins and discover all the surrounding islands with a delicious meal (I recommend the fish menu)

It was really a great experience, the crew tried very hard to find dolphins, which was the case. It was so nice.

A very friendly welcome, fine, simple food. And of course the most beautiful thing, we saw the dolphins.
