We had a great time with the crew from Dolswim yesterday! Incredibly lucky to see 3 sperm whales from a really close distance - we never saw whales before and it was breathtaking to see and observe those giants. We want to emphasize that we only observed the whales, no snorkeling with them as it's illegal and dolswim was clear about that. After the whales we drove a long time back to see the dolphins. It's nothing negative about dolswim because we kept a nice distance from the dolphins with the boat but we didn't really like the fact/the situation that 5 to 10 boats from different companies where around those 5 dolphins and rushing people through the water to snorkel with them. Afterwards we went for a little snorkel time on a nice reef. Nevertheless it was a unique experience, the crew is really friendly and explained a lot about the whales, we always felt safe and are really thankful for the day!

Wow what a fantastic experience. I know the chance of seeing whales was not very high so when we saw so many I was just blown away. We saw pilot whales, sperm whales and white tip sharks. I wasn't sure about swimming with dolphins at first but the skippers (Ronaldo and Fabio) were clear about respecting them and how to keep safe for both you and the marine life so I felt comfortable. Oh I am so glad I did! It was just a brief moment but swimming above and along side 3 dolphins was unbelievable. The snorkeling after was great too. Thank you for the wonderful memories Ronaldo and Fabio.

An unforgettable experience - everything was fabulous. We saw two humpback whales (mother and baby) even though it’s not the season, got close whilst keeping a respectful distance. We then swam with countless dolphins, they swam right up to us and we got to see them playing around us. Snorkelling was a fun way to finish the trip too. Our two guides were excellent and friendly, and the whole day was well worth it. You can’t guarantee you’ll see whales but it’s worth it in case you do.
