FROUTRAGEOUS! Do NOT book with this company! The owner kept my 1000$ deposit since covid started, refusing to give it back even after postponing for 3 YEARS! I begged her to give me my money back when covid hit and put me in a really tough financial position (not being able to pay rent and buy decent food) but never got a single dollar back, and didn't even TRY to make a gesture at all (split the apple in half would have been appreciated considering...). This says a lot about her as a person, and I don't think I even need to elaborate... Plenty of other operators with great customer service if you’re looking for a humpback swim, don't let your dream be ruined by a company like this one!

EGTruly an experience of a lifetime! After 5 days of swimming with the humpbacks in August I am truly the happiest person on the planet! What an awesome experience!! Nadia and her partners are running a 5-star operation, everything is taken care of. Great accommodation, great boat and skipper, and great guides who stick to the rules of max. 4 people plus 1 guide per whale. Lovely evenings out with really good food (loved the Mongolian BBQ!). We saw whales every single day, moms and playful calves, a heat run, encountered an incredible male singer which touched our hearts - a life changing experience, which I highly, highly recommend!! I will be back! Thank you soooooo much Nadia Aly for making it happen and for taking care of everything- loved every second! 😍

GBGreat experience from start to finish Great experience from start to finish. Nadia and the team were extremely helpful answering my questions during the booking process and the trip itself was incredible! Everything was smooth and easy. The boat crew were phenomenal, hotel staff were great, location of Flying Annie was perfect, and the list goes on and on. I’ll def be back again next year!

GBEpic and amazing!!! So hard to find the words to describe the experience, but epic, majestic, magical and breathtaking all come to mind! Our captain and guide were top notch and made sure we had the best experiences with the whales while keeping us safe and knowing our abilities. Nadia came by Mystic Sands every day to check on us and made sure we had dinner plans if it wasn't a bento box day (those bento boxes - OMG! If you're at Mystic Sands, definitely get them!). Swimming in such close proximity to such massive creatures was absolutely incredible, and the small group configuration gives each swimmer such an intimate experience with the whales. We hope to be back soon!
