Dolphin Encounter and Wildlife Tours - Dolphin Seafaris

Even though we couldnt swim with the dolphins because they had a baby (which is totally understandable), the crew made the trip really chill and sweet and we could swim in the ocean without dolphins. I liked the trip so much, so I booked another one on the 18.1.2024. Unfortunatelly, there were way more people on one small boat - around 30, so the whole trip was uncomfortable. We found dolphins without babies and could swim with them, but my group (the 1st) was in the water for 3 minutes (according to my Gopro video, that i started before I jumped in the water), so we couldnt even enjoy the swim and I saw the dolphins maybe 2 seconds, because I couldnt get used to the whole situation that quick. We didnt even got wetsuites as on my first trip. The whole swim was very chaotic and hectic. On the first trip, we were said that if we will be able to swim with the dolphins, every group will have 10-15 minutes. Now every group had maybe 5 minutes and it was not enjoyable. We came back to the Marina one hour quicker. I would recommend to book this trip out of the main season, to avoid overcrowded boats.
