  The natural land and especially water scapes are spectacular. However the boat tours are terribly run and effectively ruined what could have been a once in a lifetime experience. In our case, the tour started over an hour late, for reasons unknown while the mast of our boat snapped in two, mid-journey. The crew had no applied knowledge of the natural life we would see and provided cheap snorkels, around half of which were leaking or not working for other reasons. In other equivalently stunning water spaces (Bali/Thailand etc) the tours are creative, well organized and fun (as well as being less expensive). In our case, at Wasini, there was no structure or sense of occasion afforded by our crew - we were just dumped in the water for an hour. For the $1,000+ fees that would have been generated by those on our boat, it was exceptionally poor value. Do better, Wasini team...

  Took a private boat to the island and maybe see the dolphins. It's a great trip, though expensive if you don't go in a group. Food at the restaurant is OK, pricey for what it is, but part of the deal. Did some snorkeling, which was excellent, but didn't see any dolphins. The trip in the boat out to the reef is 40 minutes one way against the wind, so quite bumpy, be prepared!

  I visited the island a while back and I really enjoyed the experience. Watching the dolphins was such an highlight. Besides the dolphins, there’s the magnificent coral reef and the snorkeling. After these activities, later in the afternoon, we had lunch at the local eateries. The food was okay-ish, hence the lack of a 4*. My family and I ordered a platter is extra sea food since but I’d honestly say the price was not worth it. Just have what’s already prepped for the group, which you also do get to choose what to eat. After lunch, was a small tour of the village. It’s tiny and the tour took us less than 10-20 minutes to finish. All in all, great experience!

  Magical, truly magical! I rode on a boat, I saw the dolphins, I snorkeled, I had a good swim and the views are to die for. The beach is superb. Don’t go to the coast without visiting the South Coast and Wasini Island.

  After visiting the marine park we went for lunch on the island the food was OK service was OK too . Avoid ordering anything off the menu or any recommendations it was quite disappointing I do understand its to support the local economy but I wouldn't order anything that's recommended apart from what's already being served as part of the tour for a fishing island the seafood is quite expensive.
