A trip highlight! Staff...

Abby_S, Apr 2024

A trip highlight! Staff were awesome, friendly and helpful. The tour was the perfect amount of time at about 3.5 hours for two snorkeling spots and a chill ride back. Great chance to see and swim among some fish - we literally had them eating out of our hands! And we were treated to some dolphin sightings, something that the staff seemed just as excited about as we did. Would highly recommend Delphi!

Fun in the sun!! Morning and sunset!!

Christina_F, Apr 2024

Lots of fun. Great crew. Bryon, Joseph/Jose and Carlos were great! Fun music. Great snorkeling and fun boat. Rope swing and slide were fun.

Great experience

Keith_M, Apr 2024

Excursion was started on time and ended on time. Transport to the boat was a small craft - needed to swing into it but the staff helped. Delivered a catamaran and snorkel excursion as described with two sites, water slide, and rope swing. Shipwreck was rough waters and we struggled as rookie snorkelers, but the guide/captain was attentive and encouraging, and we were able to enjoy the second site much more. We were pleasantly surprised by receiving a snack and a wrap as part of the trip. We highly recommend and we would definitely return to this tour/provider.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hi Keith, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that the excursion started and ended on time. Our team is always ready to assist guests, and we're happy to hear they helped you board the small craft smoothly.

You want me to give a...

Ronald_T, Mar 2024

You want me to give a rating. Because of a miscommunication with Viator and Delphi Watersports were not able to partake in the excursion, therefore, my rating would not be fair.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hi Ronald, Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We're truly sorry for the miscommunication that prevented you from joining our excursion, we've traced the origin of the booking error and entered a formal complaint to Viator about the technical issue that prevented us from receiving your correct booking information. We completely understand that rebooking was not an option for you, but if possible we would have loved the chance to provide you with the excellent experience our guests have come to expect from us. We agree that a rating under these circumstances is not quite fair. A 1 star rating for Delphi is unfortunate, but we completely understand your frustration and disappointment that lead to the rating you provided. Your feedback is valuable, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. If there's anything we can do to make it right or assist you further, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Amazing and affordable snorkeling sail

Shantal_H, Mar 2024

They put us on a smaller boat to meet the bigger boat, which is gonna be the cruise boat lol. Absolutely fantastic snorkeling sail! As a first-timer who can't swim, I was a bit nervous, but the provided life jackets and snorkeling equipment made me feel completely at ease. Plus, the open bar and tropical fruit served onboard were a delightful bonus, not to mention the delicious chicken wrap! The four-hour trip flew by with two stops for snorkeling, although the first stop's currents might be challenging for non-swimmers. No worries though, as you can relax on the boat until the second stop. Highly recommend for an amazing time out on the water! 10/10. Customer service 9/10!!!

Fun but not great snorkeling

Debra_P, Mar 2024

We enjoyed the excursion very much. Great crew. Snorkeling was ok. Not many fish nor any sea turtles. Perhaps morning a better time to go rather than the afternoon

Hi Debra, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the excursion and found our crew to be great. We apologize that the snorkeling experience did not meet your expectations in terms of marine life sightings. Unfortunately this is quite unpredictable and can never be anticipated in advance.

Awesome Intimate Snorkeling tour

John_K, Mar 2024

This trip was fantastic and highly recommended. The size of the tour was about 16 people, so was definitely more intimate and personal than the larger tours. the captain and his mate were very friendly and personable. Great drinks, plus fresh fruit and wrap sandwiches. The 2 snorkeling spots were great too. highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Mar 2024
