Sometimes this can take a little bit of time, so please be patient and understanding that your captain and guide are doing their best!
Faqs: Can we swim with the dolphins?
No! Under the Marine Mammal Act, it is illegal to swim, feed, hunt, harass or harm/kill any marine mammal species in US waterways. This would be a federal crime. Also note, that if you were to jump into the water where the dolphins are, they will swim away from you very quickly as you are now seen as a threat.

Is there a risk of getting sea sick?
Unlikely. Our boat route sticks to the backwater areas, where it is very unlikely to boat in big swells that would cause sea sickness. We do recommend if you are prone to getting sea sick you take your necessary precautions as a preventative, but we have not had a guest ever feel sea sick during our boat tours.

What should we wear?
Outdoor comfortable clothing. Since this tour does not make any stops on a beach, you do not need to worry about getting your feet wet.

Will the dolphins play in the wake of the boat?
Our company does not pose a risk to the dolphins, so the captain will not attempt to make the dolphins get in the wake. We do see very playful dolphin activity very often, and they tend to come up very close to our boats when the engine is off. They are curious by nature and will check out the boats and us!

Will we see manatees?
Manatees can be seen during the spring and summer months in our area very frequently. During fall and winter it is a rare time of year to see them. They are migratory, and will move inland once air temperatures begin to drop.
