Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Visit during the early morning (first departure) for calmer seas and higher wildlife activity, especially from June to October for whale sightings. Weekdays are less crowded than weekends, and clear, sunny days offer the best visibility for photos and marine encounters.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Sit on the left side of the boat (port) for optimal lighting and views of the coastline during morning tours

• Use a waterproof camera or phone case to capture action shots during turns and slides

• Avoid flash photography to not disturb wildlife, and be ready to snap quickly as dolphins may only appear briefly

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Respect the marine environment by not feeding or attempting to touch wildlife, and follow all crew instructions for safety. Tipping is not expected but appreciated for exceptional service. Dress casually and comfortably, as the ride can get wet.

Special Events & Experiences

Essential safety information and guidelines
