Highly advisable if your family can swim in the sea (there are life jackets available too). I can’t swim but my family loved it.

This excursion was a once in a lifetime trip. The staff were very experienced and respectful to the animals. Where as many other boats were letting all of the people on board out of the boat at the same time which then caused the dolphins to swim away our boat was much more sensible sending out people in pairs accompanied by a member of there team. Therefore you could get really close to the dolphins without upsetting them. We also did the whale watching after where we saw lots of humpback whales which was fantastic! Definitely recommend!! Lunch and drinks were provided on the second boat trip to the whales. Would recommend the early trip as it gets quite busy with boats

We had a great time! No complaints! Just the perfect amount of time on the water. We went in the morning - perfect before the sun got too hot.

By far the best thing I have ever done! Words can't describe how amazing it is to swim with dolphins in their own natural habitat! The guys who drove the boat and come in the water with us were fabulous and funny! Great guys! We had the best day out! Thank you!!
Don't hesitate to book!!

I loved how enthusiastic our guide was about showing us the dolphines! You could see he really loves his job ((ask for Fred at the surf school on the public beach). We were the first boat to spote them (having left the beach at 6am) so at the beginning at least there were not so many people. The dolphines were a bit shy though, did not stay around for long, so we had to chase them with the boat, which felt a bit awkward. I have been told they had the little ones with them and that's why they were not so playful..The sunrise in the harbour, the coulors of dawn lining the silhouette of the mountains hills behind Tamarin, was priceless. Also swimming in open waters with swarms of gorgeous dolphines (albeit short) was quite invigorating. Worth getting up for.

A truly amazing experience! my husband and loved every minute of it and we cant wait to do it again. The price was reasonable and the skipper did not pressure us for time. All the necessary equipment was provided and we were even offered and braai on a nearby island....

This operation combines carrying for the dolphins as well as Viewing and swimming with them. Lots of fun and a great experience.
