Important Information

  • Dolphin sightings are common but cannot be guaranteed as they are wild animals The tour is weather-dependent for your safety We’re concerned about the dolphin watching experience, as the area can get crowded with many boats. While we don’t control them, some may surround the dolphins in a way that looks distressing, which we don’t support. We apologize for any discomfort this may cause but cannot intervene since those boats belong to other operators
