Should be more transparent on the chances of swimming with dolphins. Seems like many days don’t succeed
From Orca Wild Adventures - Dolphin Swimming
Hi Rasmus Beyer, sorry you didn't get to swim with the dolphins. They are wild animals and sometimes it is just not feasible. We are totally transparent about our success rate at swimming with dolphins and it is stated on our website, we swam both of the last 2 trips . I am not sure why you think we are not, you cannot really assess this from coming out once with us. Anyway you obviously feel justified in a one star review even though we cruised with 80 to 100 dolphins for an hour, had an awesome snorkel and lunch, saw a large school of Kawahai and a leatherback turtle. Regards Mark

Swimming with Dolphins?????
Swimming with dolphins is probably more of an advertising joke. There is always some excuse. Otherwise quite interesting!
From Orca Wild Adventures - Dolphin Swimming
Hey, we swim with dolphins most days. Please appreciate that these are wild animals and we do the best we can. So sorry that the you did not get to swim with them. Regards Orca Wild Adventures

Great day
This was a fantastic day. The crew is attending, offering sea sickness pills at the very beginning, supplied us with wetsuits, flippers and snorkeling masks. Skipper Marc discovered two dolphins, which guided us to a school of about 100 species. There were a lot of baby dolphins, so Marc decided not to let us swim with them. I really appreciate this, because it shows, that they take care of the wellbeing of the animals. Thanks for this experience 👍🤩
