Great
The pick up times were a bit confusing .. my pick up was 8:28am...but there was no pick up. I was told by abouther rep it would be at 9:10 (slightly We return just after 9am and the driver told us there were a few more guests to arrive. He seemed a bit irked when these guests arrived at 9.20am, which they said was their pick up, and to be fair there were 3 different pick up times for different encounters...which didn't make sense if were all travelling together. It was a lovely drive, the driver was very informative on the things we saw and drove through. We arrived at Dolphin Cove at 10am, he told us our slot was at 10.30 and that he would be returning at 1pm....I did think that that was pretty short as the tour specified it would be 4-8 hours. We then checked in, got our wristbands went to the toilet, half wandered down a path towards the stingrays,a member of staff told us it was time to make our way to the dolphins. They gave us some brief info and instructions and divided us into groups before heading in to meet the dolphins. Our dolphin was Alex but sad tonday and can't rmba the trainers name, but he was EXCELLENT!! He made sure we each got our time with Alex and have us lots of information and laughs. My daughter was a bit shy, but he made Alex pass by enough times for her to get the courage to touch her.. We had a gooood amount of time in the water...atone point I did think did they mix up our experience as felt like we were getting more than what we paid for in terms of interactions and timings...but later realised he was filling the time for the other groups to finish together... which was great for us!! After we came out of the water, lunch was provided, however seeing the time and and the queue for food, I made my way to the stingray, got in the water and had some pics taken and got to touch it. We then made our way to the ostrich and camel...but there was no camel a man told us...?? We headed back to see our pictures (which were all included in the price as it was a Saturday deal) at that point everyone else was coming to look after their lunch, so it was was bit hectic as there weren't enough monitors on for us all to view. By the time we got the receipt for the pictures, it was 12.55.... we rushed to the lunch spot and crammed down a small plate of food before making out way to the car park. 1pm was definitely too quick for a pick up as, had we went for lunch at the same time as everyone else, we would not have had enough time to see the stingray. ... but also seeing the stingray and getting our pictures gave as VERY limited time to eat. Overall the Experience was AMAZING I would highly recommend it, especially with the Saturday deal as I know the pictures normally cost alot..and the pictures are very nice, you'll want to get them! The main thing I would change is the time alloted for the day. 1hour more would be enough time to get a full experience of the extras outside the dolphins... eg. Birds ostrich, stingray, pictures, lunch, gift shop and "camel" if it returns lol
