Reviews
My experience with Paradise in Your Palm Tours was excellent. It was my first visit to Ile aux Benitiers, and I spent my time wonderfully. The team on the speedboat was welcoming and helpful. I got to see dolphins up close, and the scuba diving was an unforgettable adventure with friendly companions. I'm grateful to the team and would highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic experience with warm hospitality from the staff. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends. It offers a great package deal.
The organization of the trip was quite subpar. We were taken to a secluded beach where a man with just a pen and pad was waiting, which felt very unsettling. Contrary to what was promised, there was no water provided. The boat guide's English was very limited. While we appreciated the effort to let us swim with the dolphins, it was nearly impossible without flippers, which we assumed would be included like they were on other excursions. The food was decent, but overall, the experience did not meet our expectations. Upon returning, there was no one to greet us, leaving us to hope our transportation would arrive for the ride back.
Swimming with dolphins was a dream of mine, and I was fortunate to experience it with a fantastic crew. The jungle juice and chicken BBQ were excellent on Île aux Benitiers. Thank you; we will definitely return for another adventure.
This trip was definitely worth it. Make sure to bring some cash since there are souvenirs and crafts available at Ile aux Benitiers. The jungle juice and BBQ lunch were worth every single penny. A big thank you to the team.
Our trip was canceled just a few hours prior, and this is the second time Paradise In Your Palms Tour has let us down. I would not recommend using their services.
The taxi picked us up 30 minutes early at 6am. Upon arrival, we waited on the beach and no one was informed about the situation. We were put on speed boats, but there were 20 people instead of the promised 19. The boat ride was enjoyable and fast, but the snorkeling was just in the sea and there were no life jackets provided. We didn't see any dolphins or other marine life, which I expected. The BBQ was decent, but there were no washing facilities, making it concerning to eat. If you are looking for just a boat ride and a swim, this trip might work, but if you're hoping to see dolphins, I suggest you look elsewhere.
We had a nice day together, although there was a lengthy wait before the activities began. We got to the location by 7:15 am but did not board until around 8:30 am. We did not swim with the dolphins but rather filmed them during their swims, as it felt more like a dolphin hunt. The boats raced toward the dolphins, creating a chaotic scene with many swimmers jumping in and out. However, the rest of the day was enjoyable with a great atmosphere and stunning, paradise-like beaches.
We arranged this excursion through Hotel La Mariposa. A boat picked us up right from the hotel's beach. We enjoyed dolphin watching, went snorkeling, and had a delicious meal on an island. It was a fantastic day.
This experience was absolutely incredible and stood out as the highlight of our trip. Our driver Raj, along with David and our Skipper, were all well-organized, friendly, and very helpful. The ski boat ride was a delight, and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the dolphins and snorkeling. The island itself was beautiful, with shallow, warm water, and the food provided was delicious and plentiful. I would gladly repeat this adventure multiple times.
