We booked the private tour, which was a great option as we could have more control over it, plus it was just the two of us! Our driver tried a lot for us to see the dolphins and we found them! We had a chance to swim with them too! After we went snorkeling at an amazing reef and had a great time! The company was very helpful from the pickup until the end. They gave us a great recommendation for lunch after, and also offered to help us with the cars, uber, etc. Totally recommend it! Tip: Book an early tour to avoid all the other boats searching for dolphins, as the dolphins are in their natural environment and are scared of all the boats and people.

The best tour of my life !! The crew was amazing, that was my first time snookering and thanks to the very pacient instructors I was able to do it. 100% recommended Lunch was amazing and the spots that they stop for corals are just the best !!
