Activity requirements

This activity is not recommended for people with back problems, who are pregnant, have reduced mobility, or suffer from seasickness.

Special terms

Check-in takes place 30 minutes before the tour.

Pets are not allowed on the boat.

Since wildlife is unpredictable, their presence is never guaranteed.

Please note that the duration and itinerary of the activity are weather-dependent.

Since it is possible that you won't be able to actually go swimming with dolphins or whales on this experience for many different reasons out of your guide's control, if the excursion is successful and you get to snorkel with dolphins and/or whales, you will need to pay a fee of 20 € per person to your instructor.
