Important Information
- The local activity provider will contact you the day before your activity starts.
We'd like to be upfront about the dolphin watching experience: the area is often crowded with numerous boats, and while we have no control over them, they sometimes surround the dolphins in a way that can resemble hunting — something we do not support.
We're sorry for any discomfort this may cause, but as these boats are operated by other companies, we're unable to intervene directly.
