Adventure Tips
Arrive Early to Secure a Good Spot
Boarding early gives you the best chance to pick a prime location—often on the upper deck—to catch dolphin sightings.
Bring Layers for Variable Weather
Even in Florida, the breeze on open water can be cool, especially near sunset, so pack a light jacket.
Use Sun Protection
Sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are vital as much of the trip is exposed to direct sunlight over the water.
Keep Your Camera Ready
Wild dolphins can appear suddenly anywhere around the boat—stay alert for the best photo moments.
