Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, wir waren letzte Woche zweimal zum Delfinschwimmen bei Ihnen. Wir hatten eine Klientin dabei die ab dem Hals gelähmt war. Wir hätten nie gedacht , dass so ein Delfinschwimmen möglich ist mit unserer Klientin , aber durch die einfühlsame und behutsame Art ihrer Mitarbeiter ist es gelungen unsere Klientin ins Wasser zu bringen und mit dem Delfin in Berührung zu kommen. Ganz großes Lob an die Mitarbeiter die sich viel Zeit genommen haben für uns, also wir werden ihre Einrichtung auf jeden Fall gerne weiter empfehlen. Nochmals ganz lieben Dank für den schönen Tag mit den Delfinen. Auch die Delfin Show war sehr beeindruckend und spannend vor allem durch die akrobatischen Einlagen. Liebe Grüße

Die Show war schön gemacht. Das Schwimmen mit Delphinen war leider eine Touristen - Abfertigung. Es war ok , wir würden es für den Preis nicht wieder machen. Die Fahrzeit war doppelt so lang wie abgegeben. Der Fahrer war nicht bemüht in Englisch oder Deutsch zu sprechen.
Paulina Arend
(2.5)Ok
Im Prinzip wird alles wie angegeben auch durchgeführt. Man wird abgeholt am Hotel, allerdings dauert die Fahrt über eine Stunde und das um die Mittagszeit ist echt nicht angenehm. Dazu muss man sagen das in der Türkei alle Autofahrer wahnsinnig fahren und ständig Hupen. Als wir ankamen mussten wir knapp eine halbe Stunde warten bevor es losging. Vor der Show wurden dann noch für 20€ Fotos mit den Delfinen verkauft. Das hat sich dann etwas in die Länge gezogen. Die Show an sich war ganz schön anzusehen. Der Seelöwe hat seine Tricks nicht gemacht aber die Trainerin war dennoch total lieb und hat einen sehr sympathischen Eindruck gemacht. Danach kam das schwimmen. Nachdem alle Anweisungen erklärt wurden und man sich mit vier Mann ins Wasser begeben hat und jeder einen eigenen Delfin zugeteilt bekommen hat, ist man zwei Runden geschwommen - einmal mit den Rücken flossen und den Bauchflossen. Ansonsten wurden Fotos geschossen die anschließend pro Bild für 15€ verkauft wurden. Das ganze hat knapp 2 Minuten gedauert. Dafür sind die Preise doch sehr happig.

Der. Bustransfer war eine Katastrophe: Bus war in technisch schlechtem Zustand und der Busfahrer übermüdet, viel immer wieder in den Sekundenschlaf. Ging gar nicht!

(3.3)Lange Busanreise
Es ist wirklich verwirrend. Man kann die Tour buchen, je nachdem wo man ist. Aber man landet immer in Aksu Delphinarium. In dieser Gegend ist das, dass einzigste!! Also sind wir fast 2 Std mit dem Bus, natürlich wurden auch andere Hotelgäste aus der Gegend eingesammelt, hingefahren. Hätten wir es gewusst, wären wir mit einem Taxi hingefahren und hätten selbst den Eintritt bezahlt, welches natürlich viel günstiger war. Ende vom Lied von 12:15 Uhr bis 18:30 Uhr hatten wir keine Verpflegung. Also packt euch von Hotel, Essen und trinken ein, falls ihr mit Kindern unterwegs seit. Die Show naja, wenn man davon absieht, dass die Tiere in zu kleinen Becken leben und dass es eine reine Touristenattraktion ist, ist kurz aber beeindruckend.

Reply from Vigo Tours: Thank you very much for your review!
Hello, We apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, as Vigo Tours, the organization in the Dolphin park is not under our control. It is not in our hands to manage the organization in the dolphin park. However, the phone number you call us is the number of our office. As soon as we received a message from you, we immediately contacted our tour guide who was there with you and instructed him to inform you immediately, and you were informed. Apart from the discomfort caused by the dolphin park, I hope you enjoyed the dolphin show and swimming with the dolphin. Best regards, Vigo Tours

(4.3)Ok, aber sehr lang
Die Abholung hat gut und pünktlich geklappt, aber es geht nicht in das Sealanya, sondern in ein kleines Delphinarium in Antalya! Von Side beides ca. 1 Stunde Fahrt. Da so viele Leute mit Delphinen schwimmen wollten, hat sich alles super lang gezogen und wir waren von 12:40 bis 21:00 Uhr unterwegs und das mit zwei Kleinkindern ohne essen! Getränke und Eis konnte man da kaufen, aber kein Essen und die Warterei ist nicht schön. Das Schwimmen mit den Delphinen dauert ca. 10 Minuten für 100€.! Die Show war aber ganz gut. Man sitzt nur leider sehr sehr eng und es ist furchtbar laut. Also mit 4jährigen Kindern NIE wieder.
