What to expect
You'll board a dedicated vessel and head out to where dolphins and seals are known to gather. The crew—trained naturalists—brief you on respectful wildlife interaction before you enter the water. Expect close encounters with curious animals; dolphins often approach swimmers. The boat carries snorkelling gear fitted to your size, so you're ready to go. Between water time, you'll warm up on deck, eat lunch, and listen to optional talks about local marine life. The three hours moves quickly between swimming, spotting, and eating.
