Your crew were fantastic and really did the best they could

Your crew were fantastic and really did the best they could. Unfortunately, dolphins were more interested in feeding than in us so it was frustrating for all. However, the few sightings I got were pretty amazing and made me wish I could have seen more! Kudos to your staff for their professionalism throughout.

Couldn’t fault the crew - Tim

Couldn’t fault the crew - Tim, Steve and Andro. All lovely fellas, friendly and very happy to answer any questions, all very knowledgeable. The weather was awesome, and we saw lots and. Lots of beautiful Dolphins. This was my 3rd dolphin cruise with Temptation and the best! Thank you to all involved.

It was a nice experience

It was a nice experience, but I was a little bit disappointed. I thought that I could swim with the dolphins. Be in the water with them and that they will swim next to me. But on the boat, we heard you have to hold the rope, and I was more busy with holding the rope instead of enjoying the swim. And the dolphins were really far away, but the Dolphins are wild so it's difficult to manage this.
