Start the day on the water in Tamarin Bay, one of the best places on the island to meet wild dolphins. This guided sea kayaking trip covers around 5 to 8 km in about two to two and a half hours, paddling out in the calm early morning to look for dolphins before returning to the beach. Sightings are never guaranteed because the animals are wild, and the guide may adjust the route to suit sea and weather conditions. The trip is rated moderate to difficult, so it suits people who are comfortable paddling in open water.

Frequently asked questions

Will I definitely see dolphins?

Dolphins are wild so sightings cannot be guaranteed, but early mornings in Tamarin Bay give very good chances.

Do I need kayaking experience?

The route is moderate to difficult and in open sea, so good fitness and confidence in the water are needed. Minimum age is 12.

What should I bring?

Swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and a change of clothes. A waterproof bag is handy for your phone.

Is it OK for the dolphins?

Crews are asked to follow the local code of conduct: keep a distance, limit time with each pod and never chase or feed the dolphins.
