About This Experience
Honest Eco’s trip runs about 4 hours, with morning (09:00) and afternoon (14:00) departures. The boat is a catamaran called Squid, built for quiet running, and the listing says the crew is trained by the operator’s biologists. Group sizes are described as small, and the Viator booking maximum is 16.
The trip pairs dolphin watching with a guided snorkel. The listing does not name the snorkel site or the order of the stops, and it gives no itinerary, so what you do beyond watching dolphins and snorkeling with a guide depends on the day. Dolphin sightings can never be promised. Snorkel gear is included, with a guide trained to lead snorkelers.
Bottled water and snacks are included, and there is a bathroom on board. The listing does not list alcohol, so do not count on it. Towels and sunscreen are not provided. Arrive on time, because boarding closes 15 minutes before departure.
It suits travelers who prefer a smaller boat and an educational angle and are happy to pay more for it. The listing says the trip suits all fitness levels, infants sit on an adult’s lap, and public transport runs nearby.
