🐬 Why aren’t dolphins afraid of humans? These amazing creatures possess a high level of intelligence that allows them to distinguish between danger and when they can simply observe. Dolphins are very social and curious animals. They enjoy exploring the world around them, and if a human poses no threat, they view us with interest, as part of their environment. 🌍 In places where they frequently encounter people, dolphins become accustomed to our presence and may even interact, observing and playing. 🎮✨

Join our tour and dive into this unique experience of connecting with dolphins! 🌊🐬

🐬 Meeting dolphins is an incredible adventure, but it’s important to remember that dolphins are wild animals, and we must respect their space and behavior. Here are a few simple rules that will help you enjoy your encounter with these amazing creatures while ensuring your tour is safe and pleasant:

1. Maintain Distance: Dolphins are curious creatures, but it’s important not to get too close. Keep a safe distance to avoid disrupting their natural behavior.
2. Do Not Feed the Dolphins: While it may be tempting to offer a treat, remember that feeding wild animals can be harmful. Dolphins need to hunt for their food in their natural habitat.
3. Avoid Touching: As much as you might want to touch a dolphin, it’s crucial not to do so. Contact with their skin can be stressful for dolphins and may transmit germs that could harm them.
4. Don’t Chase: If dolphins choose to swim away, do not chase them. This can cause stress and anxiety for the animals.
5. Keep Noise to a Minimum: Try to stay quiet and avoid sudden movements to avoid scaring the dolphins. Noise can frighten them or alter their behavior.
⠀
By following these simple rules, you can enjoy an incredible dolphin encounter while keeping both yourself and these beautiful marine creatures safe. Join us and explore the wild with respect and care! 🌊

Hey everyone! Did you know that pelicans are such fascinating creatures? Here are 5 interesting facts about them that you probably didn't know:

1. Pelicans are incredible divers! They can plunge into the water from heights of up to 60 feet to catch fish. Talk about an impressive hunting technique!

2. These beautiful birds have a wingspan of around 7 to 10 feet. Imagine seeing that majestic wingspan in person, it must be quite a sight!

3. Pelicans are quite social creatures. They often gather in large groups called colonies, with some colonies containing hundreds or even thousands of birds. Talk about a lively community!

4. Have you ever wondered how pelicans store all the fish they catch in their beaks? Well, here's the secret: they have a stretchy throat pouch that can hold up to three times more than their stomach. That's some serious storage capacity!

5. These birds have been around for a long time. Fossil records indicate that pelicans have been on Earth for over 40 million years. They have truly stood the test of time!

I hope you found these facts as fascinating as I did. Pelicans are truly remarkable creatures with some incredible abilities. Let's appreciate the beauty and wonder of nature! 🌿🐦

Thank you for your review on Google!

“My husband and I booked a last min tour for the final day of our honeymoon and it was one of the best experiences we had on our trip! Capt. Russ was kind, personable, and super knowledgeable of the area and wildlife. You can tell he truly loves his job! We got to experience a pod of 6-8 dolphins that came right up to the boat and later were jumping in the wake of the boat, it was incredible! We also got to visit a small island to look for seashells, interact with comb jellyfish and enjoy the gorgeous view. We loved how intimate and personal the tour felt vs a commercial large boat tour. The boat was clean and comfortable. Thank you again Capt. Russ for the unforgettable experience! Would love to book again when we're back in the area.”
