We encourage our skippers not to chase the dolphins and we
advise visitors to enter the water away from the dolphins with as little
disturbance as possible, staying close to the boat, avoiding sudden movement
and allowing the dolphins to come to you. On busy days with many tourists this
however is not possible.
After the exhilarating experience of swimming with the dolphins,
you can also do snorkelling for a while before we will head back to shore. The
trip takes about 4 hours starting very early in the morning.
