We booked the dolphin swim for today and were really excited, but sadly it was miserable. :(The weather was terrible to start, so I specifically asked if the boat would be covered before we started our 30min journey from our accommodation, and they said "yes of course". However, this was not the case, neither do they provide any dry bags or a dry place to keep your clothes or towel. Everything will be soaking wet!The dolphin swim is more a dolphin chase. There are plenty of boats all chasing the dolphins and trying to get everyone into the water. The boat will stop a few times for everyone to get into the water but you will only see the dolphins for a quick moment if anything until they disappear again. We would have liked to spend some more time there, but once everyone saw a dolphin it was time to leave, rather than wait for a few better opportunities.On the way back (which is a good 30 minutes) we were absolutely freezing on the boat. We got blasted in the face by the wind and rain and tried to get some shelter under our soaking wet towels. It was really not fun at all.We specifically just booked the dolphin swim for 2 hours given the weather forecast and when we thought we're finally back they stopped for a snorkel trip! This wasn't part of the tour we confirmed and it was just miserable to sit freezing on the boat yet for another 30 minutes in the rain without any shelter or dry clothes.This tour may be fun if your boat leaves before all these other boats and it's a warm sunny day, but we had a painful experience and couldn't wait for it to end
