Reviews
After booking, you will receive a voucher. We were two people on one ticket. Although the entire trip didn't have a guide, staying at the bus terminal made departures very convenient. Just check the platform times and use the voucher you received; simply show it. We arrived a little after 11 AM. Remember your drop-off point, as this is also where you'll board for the return trip. Once there, you can go straight to the BBQ, and the environment is fantastic. After eating, exchange your tickets and then take a boat to see the dolphins. The boat travels quite fast, but after about 45 minutes, it slows down. Get your camera ready for the dolphins! The chances of seeing them are very high, and they'll stay for a while. Then, you'll return to the boarding point. The entire trip takes about two hours. At this point, you can browse the shops, buy a salt bread, and try the top-rated coffee milkshake from the ice cream and coffee shop at the entrance – it's delicious. Wait for the bus around 4 PM to return to the bus terminal. When you board, take a numbered ticket, and when you get off, just show your ticket. The bus ride is quite long, so you can just sleep until you arrive.
The itinerary is all set, the ocean view BBQ is very romantic, there's a 98% chance of seeing dolphins, overall it's a great trip.
