Nous somme aller en mai dernier et je penses bien que les enfants ont bien appréciés nager avec les dauphins. Le coût n'est pas cher comparé à d'autres endroits. Le seul inconvéniant, est l'attente pour avoir accès aux dauphins. Il faut attendre dans les estrades jusqu'à ce que l'on nous nomme. Mais l'expérience en vaut le coût!
deja à l'entrée on vous prend votre bouteille d'eau si vous venez avec pour vous pousser a acheter les leurs (gonflé) on vous propose de nager avec les dauphins : 10 minutes pour 70$ entrée incluse sinon entrée enfant 15$, adulte 25$. en fin de compte ca dure 2 a 3 minutes. vous caressez le dauphin 1 ou 2 minutes, il vient vous faire un bisou ensuite vous attrapez ses nageoires et vous ramene au bord. tout ca photographié par qqun du parc qui vous vend la photo 8$ et qui vous ecarte pour que vous ne puissiez pas photographier et vendre sa photo. donc je trouve ca un peu exagéré mais businness is business. ca laisse un bon souvenir pour les enfants.
sinon le parc est un peu decevant. sur le depliant on vous dit que vous verrez des requins (je les cherche encore), 5 ou 6 tortues dans une eau sale, des iguanes ou vous pouvez descendre dans la fosse pour les carresser, qques orchidées, des toucans perroquets, 4 ou 5 crocodiles et c'est tout. les spectacles de chevaux et perroquets, danses sont sympas mais on reste sur sa faim.
Merci, j'avais un peu le doute mais ce truc avec les dauphins semblent etre, à travers tous les témoignages, un piège à touristes . Ils jouent sur l'interet sans borne que les enfants portent aux dauphins certes justifié mais là c'est une pompe à fric...
moi je suis allée en RD en octobre 2004 en souhaitant nager avec les dauphins notre guide touristique, nous l'a déconseillé visite au alentours de 81 dollars le parc est en plein soleil tout pour consommer l'eau y est super chère le prix du vin et pour nager avec un dauphin 2 h de file d'attente en plein soleil, le bassin n'est soit disant pas très grand, tu attrappes les nageoires du dauphin tu traverse le bassin le temps de la photo et tu sors 2h d'attente pour 2 minutes de baignade voilà le résumé de notre guide air transat super sympa alors nous avons préféré investir dans d'autres excursions à toi de voir ?
J'ai été en Mars à Manati sans toutefois participer à la nage - 2 mns de nage est amplement exagéré - le nageur est sur le ventre du dauphin le temps de traverser le bassin qui doit faire environ 10 mètres soit 6 à 8 secondes, et encore !!!!!!!!! - véridique - Par contre tu peux les caresser dans ce même bassin pendant environ 10 mns -
C'est bien évident un piège à touriste, mais chacun en est bien conscient, le touriste apporte une manne d'argent............
Le reste du zoo peut faire le bonheur de jeunes enfants. Je rejoins un autre avis, le coup de la bouteille d'eau - s'il vous la trouve à l'entrée, on vous la confisque - Ce que je n'ai pas aimé, mais pas aimé du tout : avec un petit stratagème de vouloir vous souhaiter la bienvenue, ils ont une façon de tirer sur votre besace pour justement voir s'il n'y a pas une bouteille dedans, tout ça avec un énorme sourire et de grosses plaisanteries -
J'ai un peu regretté, car ce comportement ne reflétait pas la conduite du dominicain
I’m planning to go to an all-inclusive resort next April. I know it’s the start of sargassum season, but I was wondering if it really affects swimming. Do hotels clean the beach? Is it still possible to swim?
I’d like to book an all-inclusive trip next April. My criteria: 1) no sargassum, 2) 4 stars or higher, 3) ability to snorkel right from the hotel beach, and 4) safe.
Hey, I’d like to know which hotel in the south doesn’t force you to wake up at 4 AM just to reserve a shady chair, whether it’s at the beach or the pool.
Hi,
For my husband's 50th birthday, we're going to Mombasa for 10 days and 8 nights in March 2026.
I found a hotel, the Kappa Club Crystal Bay Resort, and online reviews for this hotel recommend a guide named Omar. I contacted him via WhatsApp, and he's offering a 2-day, 1-night safari in Tsavo East, a "blue safari," and a Marafa Canyon day trip for 400 € per person.
I’m asking for help from people who’ve already done these excursions because I have no idea what these offers entail.
Thank you for any advice you can give me about this trip.

Hi everyone, I’m writing here because I’m really torn—I want to go on a trip. A vacation? 10 to 12 days, maybe 14 days. Starting March 14th. I’m in a wheelchair but completely independent. I was thinking of going to Martinique, but apparently, the hotels aren’t all-inclusive, which might be a hassle. If you have any advice, that’d be great. Otherwise, I was considering Mexico—a long-time dream. At an all-inclusive hotel with accessibility on one level (since I’m independent but in a wheelchair). Do you know of any nice, budget-friendly hotels with activities in Mexico? Or Zanzibar is also an option for me, same idea.
Thanks in advance for your help! If you have any tips, that would be amazing so I can finally make up my mind and plan my trip without too much stress. I’m looking ahead so I have plenty of time. Feel free to ask questions if you’d like. Thanks for your feedback, have a great evening!
Hi everyone,
happy to be back on this site.
I’m tired of spending hours and hours searching for all-inclusive hotels for my first trip to Mexico to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.
Can anyone recommend 5 or 6 hotel names that meet the following criteria? (I’m not too picky, lol)
1. All-inclusive
2. Adults-only
3. Beautiful beach and pool
4. Hotel for relaxing (no "factory hotels")
5. One-week stay in February 2026
6. A nice hotel (3 or 4 stars) but no need for an ultra-palace
Oh, and I almost forgot the main thing 😉: budget between 3500 € and 4000 € for two, including flights from Montreal-Mexico-Montreal.
Thanks to all of you for your recommendations!

I’m looking into November (first, will it be warm enough for snorkeling in Sharm El Sheikh?) and especially for feedback on hotels. I’ve read that the clientele is mostly Italian or Russian. Are there any French-speaking hotels—or at least mixed ones?
We’re a retired couple and are looking for a hotel around 1,000 € per week.
We’ll be in Cairo beforehand and will take a domestic flight.
Thanks in advance.
We’re thinking of booking an "all-inclusive" trip so we don’t have to worry too much... for a week at the beginning of next September, but we’re torn between several destinations: Crete? Cyprus? Sicily? Sardinia? The only thing we’re really looking for is sunshine. Thanks in advance for any tips you can share!
Hi there,
I’m planning a stay at the Sian Kan in the Riviera Maya and was wondering if anyone’s been there recently. If so, are the location, welcome, services, and food still as excellent as they used to be? I’ve heard that since the train between Cancun and Tulum was built, things might have gone downhill.
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi there, I’m a 43-year-old woman planning to travel solo in early March. I’m not really into "commercial resorts," but if I find a place that fits my criteria, I might be interested. To add to the info in the title, I’m open to various activities, but ideally, it’d include snorkeling, hiking, dance (every evening if possible!), group tours, etc. I’d love to meet people (not necessarily a man—just people in general!). I’m not necessarily aiming for the cheapest resort, but since it’s spring break week and everything’s already pricier, 5-star options are probably out of the question. Thanks!
Hello!
What a pleasure to be back on Voyage Forum!
We’ll be in Venice from March 20th to 24th, and I’m looking (for two couples) for a hotel close to St. Mark’s Square—my husband can’t walk long distances. For four nights with breakfast, our budget is around 1,400 € per couple. To avoid too much walking for him, I’d also prefer a hotel where we could potentially eat dinner in the evenings.
If anyone has any recommendations, thank you in advance to those who reply!
We’re planning a week-long trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights.
We’re looking at staying from March 22nd to 30th: will we still be able to see the Northern Lights, or is it too late in the season?
We found a deal on Voyage Privé that seems like a good price, with a hotel in Reykjavik. If we rent a car, are there any interesting sites we can visit during the day, since we’re tied to returning to Reykjavik every night—or else we’d lose our nights at the hotel!
Hi,
I was planning a trip to Hurghada at the end of March, but it's the end of Ramadan.
Some people are telling me I should avoid it.
What do you think?
Thanks
Hi
I can’t manage to get in touch directly with one of the hotels in Prachuap...
like Prachuap Grand Hotel or Prachuap Beach Hotel...
has anyone been there recently?
or have any info?
Thanks everyone...
Hi there,
We’re heading to Argentina and Chile in February 2025. I’d love to know if it’s recommended to book accommodations (hotels, guesthouses, etc.) in advance, especially in Patagonia? Thanks for your tips!
Hi everyone,
I’d like to book 2 nights at a camp inside Etosha (Halali).
However, online, I’ve found two sites for making this reservation:
The first is the Etosha National Park site: https://etoshanationalpark.co.za
You can’t pay online there—you just submit a reservation request (enquiry).
The second is the NWR (Namibia Wildlife Resorts) site: https://www.nwr.com.na, where you *can* pay online.
Is the latter one reliable?
Thanks so much for your tips!
