Activity itinerary

The journey starts with a short briefing introducing local species, rules and responsible practice on tour, onboard safety, and equipment use. Follow your Guide and Skipper to your designated boat, and go out to sea. Lookouts high inland help locate our friends, and provide directions via VHF Radio to where the boat travels, initially at high speed. While approaching our friends very carefully, your Guide will evaluate if all favorable conditions are met to allow the activity’s proceedings. Always be ready and prepared to go into the water - 2 swimmers alternate in the water at safe distance during limited periods of time, and you do not want to miss out on each opportunity in which Dolphins can choose to come closer driven by their friendliness and curiosity. Exclusively between late Autumn and Early Spring with water temperatures averaging between 16ºc and 22ºc, and depending on specific species’ birthing season and behavior, it is possible to swim with any of 4 different species of Dolphins - Common Dolphins, Bottlenose Dolphins, Striped Dolphins and Risso’s Dolphins. On a second part of the tour, snorkel, to discover the marine fauna & flora in the island’s sea bed.
