“Loved seeing and swimming with the turtles in the cave. Wasn’t overcrowded at all, only four other people there at the same time. The only thing I’d say is it was not three hours; we had maybe 45 minutes in the cave and did feel as though we were being waited on to get out; however, that was plenty of time as it is a small area.”

Feed and swim with rehabilitated turtles at Baraka Natural Aquarium in Zanzibar, with a guide, lagoon snorkeling, and seaweed feeding.
“A program tökéletes volt, a teknősök között lenni elképesztő élmény. Plusz pont, hogy nem volt tömeg, sorban állás, és így is másfél órán keresztül voltunk a medencében az állatokkal. Tényleg harapnak ha a nekik szánt tengeri fű túl közel kerül az ember làbához, erre figyelni kell. Mindkettőnket megharapott egy, de nyilván ez a mi hibánk volt, túl közel adtuk nekik az ételt. Egyébként ez sem vészes élmény, kicsit bekékült a helye, semmi komolyabb.”
