Instruction on how to approach the dolphins, their expected behaviour and general information about them, will be given on the way out to find them in a high speed catamaran with an enclosed cabin. All necessary gear is supplied, wet suits, masks, snorkels, flippers and hats and gloves if needed. The trip is 1 ½ to 2 hours depending on where in the harbour they are.
