IMPORTANT NOTE: On this tour, we used to snorkel with the wild dolphins. As of Oct 2021 The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) is now being enforced and swimming with wild dolphins is now considered harassment. We will still be able to go encounter the dolphins at a safe distance but no company or persons are able to enter the water with them.
