We are often unable to locate dolphins in their natural habitat. Our guides have been doing this since years and know the best places that dolphins love. Our tours almost always encounter dolphins, which make up the largest wild dolphin population in the world.

If conditions allow it, we sometimes have the opportunity to swim and snorkel alongside dolphins. They are wild dolphins and can think for themselves. We do NOT feed or harass dolphins. This is why we don't guarantee dolphin swimming. All boat tours are guided by the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
