Dolphins & Snorkeling Tour Details
Enjoy two incredible activities in one tour! Join our biologists and naturalists for an unforgettable adventure in search of dolphins — some of the ocean’s most intelligent and playful creatures.
Watch them feed, play, surf alongside the boat, or spot mothers with their babies. If conditions allow, you may even swim with the dolphins in their natural habitat.
Before departure, enjoy an informative talk about dolphin biology and ecology.
