Closest we have ever got to dolphins! Sometimes I felt they are less than a meter from me, and I feel I can practically touch them, although I shouldn't. It was indeed a WOW moment in our lives. My partner enjoyed it far more than I did, I struggled a bit with goggles and visibility at first, a little tip, goggles don't help, you can't really see anything underwater, and they fog up pretty quick, any action you see will be above water, and it will be far better to enjoy them with necked eyes. But even above the water level, the visibility also wasn't what I expected, the eyesight was super low and close to water level, so there was a lot of reflections of water, we were also constantly moving, which makes it difficult to spot anything, therefore we had to rely on staff members on board the boat to spot the dolphins for us. Bottom line, it wasn't easy to spot the dolphins, it also involves a lot of waiting, which sometimes can be a little long and boring, but when they do come near you, it was a nice and exciting surprise. Other than that, it was all good, staff were friendly and helpful, the hot shower afterwards was a fantastic touch.
