Traveler reviews
I will be back
Fantastic staff that made the trip fantastic. Beautiful islands and the snorkelling was stunning. Lunch was great and swimming in the beaches was so relaxing. Was a shame the dolphins were on holidays.
Misleading title
I give only 3 stars because the title of the tour is misleading. I thought we'll find dolphins or at least really try to find them instead of saying that dolphins are on "a holiday". But when we get to the briefing the guide says this trip is all about snorkeling, snorkeling, snorkeling. So we were really disappointed that we didn't see any dolphins that we went to see. So I wouldn't sell this excursion as "dolphin quest" cause that part was like slowly sailing next to Maiton island for 10 minutes. If the tour title would've been for the example "snorkeling excursion" I would've gave the 5 stars. Cause the guides and crew of the boat was excellent! And snorkeling places were beautiful!
Pretty water and best snorkeling
Beautiful water for snorkeling. Tour guides were amazing (Kathy and Moana) and very attentive. The water was very clear and pretty. The group tour was more than advertised but everyone was very happy. Only bad thing was food that was not good at all. Overall was amazing!!!
Beautiful swimming
What beautiful islands!! The first island was magical, no other boats there, only ours, so perfect to snorkel alone, especially for us who doesn't do it much We thought that the trip was well organised, until they decided that we didn't have enough time to visit Maiton beach, very disappointed that we had paid to see this. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins that day, which was a shame, then got told we was going back to base. A real let down about not seeing Maiton island
