C’était une expérience indescriptible, en 2h30 nous avons pu non seulement voir mais également nager avec une trentaines de dauphins, une baleine puis quelques tortues et poissons. L’équipe est au top, ils sont rassurants et là pour vous pour quoi que ce soit. Je recommande très fortement de passer le cap et faire cette activité qui est selon moi la meilleure de toute l’île.

Super sympa, même si nous n'avons pas vu les baleines, nous avons passé un très bon moment a la découverte des espèces présentes dans les coraux

Une superbe activité à réaliser sur l’île, un temps radieux, des animaux approchés en toute confiance, sécurité et respect. Une chance inouïe d’avoir pu voir des baleines, des dauphins et même une tortue ! Une équipe au top. Je recommande vivement !
