    We were picked up from our accommodation, which was a little further away, by a tuk-tuk. We therefore agreed a pick-up fee with the organiser, which was totally fair. This was solely due to our accommodation and normally the pick-up service in the surrounding area is included in the price. When we arrived, we got straight into the motorboat, we were the only ones as it is a private tour. The two drivers were super friendly and as soon as something was in sight, they accelerated to get close to it quickly. We saw lots of dolphins in our immediate vicinity very early on. And luckily for us, we even saw a whale. As the other tours were probably not so successful, they were contacted by our guide and also travelled to our spot. I have to say, we had great guides. When we were back near the coast, we had bananas, delicious biscuits and water. I can highly recommend the tour. We came without any expectations and saw more than we thought we would. Of course, it always depends on how lucky you are ;)

    Dolphin and whale watching experience. It was an excellent trip. Very safe and very good crew. Mr Vanam is such a nice person and his crew member Dinesh was very kind and sensitive. We enjoyed the long ride and were lucky enough to spot a few dolphins! No whale though , we can come back at a later time in the year to spot whales. Will stay in touch with you. Thanks for organising this.

    Locals vertelden me de avond ervoor dat er momenteel geen walvissen zijn. Bovendien is de prijs als je lokaal boekt tot de helft goedkoper! Dus niet online boeken. De tocht zelf was ok. Ophalen was vreemd. Een man met een scooter kwam langs, en zei dat ik moest wachten op de tuktuk. Beide spraken amper Engels, kenden mijn naam niet en konden de naam van het bedrijf niet geven. Uiteindelijk bleek het te kloppen maar dit voelde onveilig om in te stappen. Er was geen veiligheidsbriefing oid. De kapitein sprak geen Engels. De tocht zelf was verder prima. We hadden goede life vests, en we hebben erg lang bij dolfijnen kunnen varen. Wel is hier nog weinig respect voor de rust van de dieren. We bleven lang op het water tot we zelf vonden dat het genoeg was. De bedoelingen waren duidelijk goed, maar het is echt je reinste onzin om hier online zoveel geld voor te betalen…

    We have not seen whales, but it is due to the season and not to organizers. Staff as always, very friendly and helpful. Bit much I found the extra charge for picking up hotel. About twice as much as if you had taken a tuk tuk yourself. I don't think it's good to make money here again. Have seen many dolphins, very impressive.
