Everything was absolutely perfect. From the booking, support and how the tripbwas arranged. The guide was a good teller and the busdriver drove safe.

It was a smooth and seamless experience. The staff at the airport counter were very helpful. Also I booked the card directly from the website and got a very good discount. Overall, very satisfied.

This was a superb activity- we saw so many dolphins in their natural habitat. Booking was so easy and everything was smooth. The ride was not rocky as well. Both kids and adults loved it.
