Rosemary Henderson review 21 Jul 20104 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Seeing dolphins in the wild 50 meters in front of you. Even if it was raining and very windy!

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Pack a rain coat just in case you get the weather I had. Take a camera, but don't expect a guaranteed perfect dolphin photo, they move very fast in the water and it is hard to focus.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes, our guide took great care in making sure the impact on the dolphins was minimal, and the dolphin watching boat we went on was of local origin.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Although not the cheapest of trips you are getting a very knowledgeable and experienced guide who has worked in various different countries on different dolphin projects. It really pays to have someone with this background, both in terms of ability to answer questions but also knowing when to go to specific locations (to get the best chance of seeing dolphins).
