Directions to The Dolphin Centre

Working to promote responsible tourism, The Dolphin Centre books dolphin excursions and interactive swims with wild dolphins. At the center, guests will have an introduction to the world of dolphins and learn all about these beautiful marine mammals, as well as get tips and information on how to interact safely with them in the wild on the tours. The center offers two types of tours: the dolphin swim and the dolphin retreats.

Dolphin Swim:
-casual dolphin swim
-dolphin tour (three dolphin excursions)
For both of these trips, launches are run daily, and group sizes are between 6-12 people. Trips last 2-2.5 hours and include snorkeling over shallow reefs as well as seasonal whale and shark sightings. Dolphin sightings are usual but not guaranteed, so it is recommended to book multiple excursions to increase the chances of seeing these amazing marine animals.

Dolphin Retreat:
-This is a four day trip with 3 early morning launches onto the sea, including a pre-launch ecological briefing/boat safety lessons, dolphin interactions, other marine sightings, pre-training snorkeling, and accommodation if needed.

Check out the Dolphin Centre to learn all about these marine mammals, see them in the wild, and snorkel on a beautiful reef. After ocean activities, stop by the Mango Cafe, located above the center, from some fresh healthy food to refuel.
