Know before you go

What advantages do your boat tours offer over other similar tours?

This is not intended to simply be a sightseeing trip like the BIG cattle boats give. This is a personalized dolphin experience. We only take 6 passengers per boat so that you actually have a chance to swim with dolphins in the wild. These boats are designed for this specific activity. They are equipped with easy to climb swim ladders, and our Captains are very keen to local dolphin behavior & patterns. We can also customize the tour to fit each groups expectations.

What do we need to bring?

We provide the snorkeling gear so don’t worry about that but you will definitely want a record of this trip, so bring a camera! Also bring a towel. We keep a cooler on ice on board so you are also welcome to bring along your favorite beverage.
