Creator's Key Takeaways

But the coolest thing about this tour is there is a possibility that you can swim with the dolphins in the wild ethically.

I love the fact that they were not feeding them to entice them to come to us. They just came because they were curious and wanted to check us out. So definitely very ethical.

It was magical. We stopped at least five different times to be able to swim with the dolphins and I jumped in two of the times.

It was different.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the Wildlife Connection tour for an ethical dolphin encounter.
Bring cash for a taxi/Uber (approx. $6) to the tour meeting spot.
Use the restroom before the boat tour as there are no facilities onboard.
Be prepared to jump off the boat and climb a small ladder to swim with dolphins.
Bring water and snacks for the walk back to the ship if you are not prepared for the heat.
