“Great trip overall, additional swimming opportunity would be nice after the first swim stop to get to Dolphin island, food was lovely, great bar service, entertainment was great for the young ones, the music was great. Return transfer- the driver dropped off main road and asked us to walk the remaining- not sure why as it was accessible for him to reach Lovely day at sea and we did see turtles but no dolphins”
