FAQ

Expand all

Can I swim with dolphins on this tour?

The Ocean Rafting tour is the only option where your captain and crew will try to get you into the water with the dolphins. Since these marine mammals are wild, you will not literally swim with them, but instead you will be asked to enter the water and passively float as the dolphins swim around or below you. This interaction is not guaranteed since it is completely dependent on the behavior and mood of the dolphins.

Do I need to be able to swim to participate?

No, and life jackets are available for anyone that would like to wear one. There will also be a snorkel lesson before you get in the water.
