Frequently asked questions

Are dolphins guaranteed?

No. Dolphins are wild animals, but this stretch of coast gives good chances, especially in the morning.

What should I bring?

Swimwear, a towel, sun protection and a hat. Contact us to check whether snorkelling equipment is provided.

Can non-swimmers join?

Yes. Life jackets are on board, and you can stay on deck or in shallow water. Tell the crew if you cannot swim.

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.

I get seasick - is it OK?

The lagoon is usually calm, but the open sea can be choppy. Take seasickness tablets beforehand if you are prone to it, and sit near the back of the boat.

Is the price per person?

The price shown is per person unless the page says per group or per vehicle. Children's rates, where they apply, are shown when you choose your guests.

How do I book?

Send us an enquiry on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your date and the number of guests. We check availability, confirm the price in writing and only then ask you to pay.

Can you arrange a hotel pick-up?

Yes. Tell us where you are staying and we will quote a return transfer. The price depends on the distance from your hotel.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If the operator cancels for weather or safety reasons, we help you move to another day or arrange a refund in line with the operator's terms.

Can I change or cancel my booking?

Tell us as early as possible. Change and cancellation terms depend on the operator, and we confirm them in writing before you pay.
