“The chance to join the tour as a watcher offers spectacular views of these acrobatic and energetic dolphins. Their exhilarating displays of jumps, leaps, tail slapping, and somersaults provide the most incredible dolphin show on earth! Watchers and swimmers travel on the same boat, so if some of you want to watch and others want to swim, it’s not a problem as you will still be together. It’s fascinating to observe the interaction between swimmers and wild dolphins from above the water too. Our boats are specifically designed for optimal viewing and have upstairs decks as well as walk-around bows to help you capture perfect images of your experience.”
