Our Dolphin Boat Tours provide a more personal experience with dolphins. These tours last two hours and give you the opportunity to swim and snorkel with them. You can arrange your private tour. Our captains can help you find the best places where dolphins can be seen.
Instead of swimming in front of the dolphins (which is illegal), we will swim parallel with them, instead of reaching out for them (which also violates the law). This will allow them to approach us ethically.

MAXIMUM 6 guests (including all children) are allowed on each boat. Coast Guard regulations do not allow for more than 13 passengers.
