Witness the playful behavior of wild dolphins in their natural habitat, and if sea conditions allow, you may swim alongside them under the guidance of our experienced crew. We follow ethical and responsible wildlife practices, ensuring both your safety and the well-being of the dolphins.

Important Information

  • We would like to express our concern regarding the dolphin watching experience. Unfortunately, the area is often crowded with numerous boats, and while we have no control over them, they sometimes surround the dolphins in a manner that can appear distressingly similar to hunting—something we do not support. We sincerely apologise for any discomfort this may cause. However, as these boats are operated by other companies, we regret that we are unable to intervene directly.
