He will always try to find dolphins in an area without other dolphin watching boats so you can peacefully enjoy dolphins in their natural habitat. If this is not the case, we’ll join the other boats who found them first. We will slowly approach the dolphins but keeping a safe distance and turning off the engine while beeing close without disturbing them. With a little bit of luck the dolphins will come close to our boat and you will be able to see them jumping.
