Well organized dolphin tour, sadly, without any dolphins
Sadly, we didn't see any dolphins. We were on the afternoon tour, so probably afternoon is not the best time to see them. People who went on the morning tour saw a lot of them. Nevertheless, the bay is lovely even without dolphins, so it was nice to see its beaches and other beauties. Other than that, it is well organised. We easily confirmed our booking over a phone call, and they gave instructions on where to wait for the boat. It embarked on time. They offered us vouchers for the future because we didn't see dolphins, so we can go again if we happen to be around.
The cruise was one hour delay
The cruise was one hour delay. Maybe that's why the trip was cut short. Instead of having 1.5 trip on the boat, we only had an hour boat trip. But, we did see some dolphins- probably 15 dolphins altogether. On the boat, we also heard some information about the dolphins.
Amazing this is really a must do
Amazing this is really a must do, not only did we get to see cheeky dolphins play and chase the boat we got to see all the beautiful beaches that we hoped to see in our weekend away but didn't have the time and from a better perspective, the bay is absolutely pristine, the crew were wonderful and the boat awesome, can't wait until whale watching season. We will definitely be back.
