Almost got cheated (?) ordered a private boat for our couple trip but was guided into a group boat of 9+ ppl. I had to explicitly tell the guide that I ordered a private boat, he still even asked me if I can be in a shared boat instead which of course I rejected 🤯
He then called his other friend to come with a private boat, making our trip late by ~15 mins, barely catching the sunrise.
But giving the benefit of the doubt I guess it's just a miscommunication from mgmt and the guide. Hope it doesn't happen to other people 🤷
Tripwise it's a rather bad experience, tons of other boats were hunting to view the dolphins, like how poor are they for having to hear those roaring boat engines everyday! I felt guilty for the dolphins for taking part of this activity...
We also didn't get many dolphin sightings, like maybe just 3-4x, definitely not worth it.
The snorkeling experience was meh, the snorkeling equipment wasn't cleaned properly, boring white coral reef but relievingly there are tons of fish. Bring a pack of bread to feed the fish for maximum experience.
