1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The marine biologist for a day trip and the jeep tour.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Check for any festivals that are happening while you’re out there and make sure you book restaurants in advance for dinner. We were not aware of the White Festival and could not find anywhere to eat that night!3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
It supported local people in that all our guides were local and secured their jobs, but I would say like for any plane journey it had an environmental impact.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Five star :)Karen Kaczynski review 5 Jun 2022
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Swimming with wild dolphins - amazing!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Take travel sickness pills if the water is choppy! Be prepared for very capricious weather!3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes - the whale and dolphin trips seem animal friendly - the cetaceans are not disturbed as there are rules about keeping distance and there are not that many boats. The boat trip operators include marine biologists who are knowledgeable about and interested in protecting the sea. It’s clear that local people are interested in protecting the environment. Tourism is an important industry which definitely benefits the locals.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Great - a really relaxed place. We wish we could have stayed longer!Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
