Swimming with Dolphins — West Coast

A magical morning on the west coast swimming with wild dolphins in their natural habitat, off the shores of Tamarin.

I take you out early from Tamarin, where spinner dolphins come to play in the waves at dawn. This is one of the most genuine encounters I offer: no pool, no staging — the dolphins are free, and you enter the water at their pace.

The crew watches the pod from the boat and gives you the signal to slip in. Mask and snorkel provided, you swim alongside them for as long as they choose to stay. Some days they play for twenty minutes, other days they’re off after two passes — that’s nature, and it’s precisely what makes it special.

I recommend booking this one early in the morning, in a small group. I handle the reservation and the transfer from your hotel on the west coast.
