One traveler's experience with a private 'Dolphin House' boat trip: departure was delayed 30 minutes, transfer was by car instead of the promised bus with no prior notice. The captain used a horn to attract dolphins, which often scared them away. Swimming alongside dolphins was chaotic — multiple boats in close proximity and strong winds created unsafe conditions. Snorkeling and lunch were included in the trip.
