Spot Dolphins

Once you've departed the marina, your crew will take you to the prime dolphin locations. So keep your eyes peeled for Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, and short-beaked common dolphins frolicking in the waves. Your onboard Marine Biologists will provide facts and information about the dolphins in their natural environment. Be sure to have your camera ready to capture these beautiful creatures as they approach the vessel - they love playing at the bow of the boat!
