Please note: A Single Supplement will apply for solo travellers and you must select the single supplement option to complete the booking.

The minimum age for the dolphin swim tour is 8 years old – so this tour is not suited for those with small children. You must also be a confident swimmer for the Dolphin Swim excursion as swimmers will be in the open ocean where you will not be able to touch the bottom. Both the Whale Watch & Dolphin Swim tours are subject to good weather and sea conditions.

The activities can operate in reverse with Dolphin Swim on the first day and Whale Watch on the second, however this is dependent on availability. Please advise if you would like to change the order of your activities.
