“The overall experience was good, with the snorkeling being a major highlight. I highly recommend the GoPro option (additional cost) for capturing amazing underwater memories. However, I had to ask numerous questions to get clarity on various aspects throughout my stay, which was a bit disappointing. Organisation could have been better. Though the tour is advertised as "private," only the snorkeling part is truly private. The shuttle bus service to and from the port is shared and can take many hours.”

English-speaking guides such as Gede and Darma tailor the pace, while dolphin swimming depends on sea conditions.

“Belle journée intense et complète. Nous avons eu un magnifique lever de soleil et avons pu trouver les dauphins. Nous avons pu descendre à l’eau pendant la navigation pour les voir également sous l’eau. Attention, il faut s’attendre à du monde.
