• This is an Owner-operated experience, founded by a dolphin researcher since 2007. • We will look for the best dolphin group, not just the closest dolphin group. • This is a small group (12pax) experience. Everyone can be at an arm’s reach from them. The guide will satisfy all your curiosity, he’s a dolphin expert! • We are only focused on dolphin watching and research. You will be supporting research of the local dolphin communities. • The boat is made from recyclable materials and has low emissions by using a biofuel mix. • If we find the dolphins in the river, we'll go to areas where we see more interesting species of dolphins and whales • Depending on tour conditions, we'll keep looking for a highly interactive group.
• We’ll try to stay away from other boats and have consistent steering that encourage dolphins to stay close to us. We'll let you know the group structure, their habits and behaviours. • After you having your moment looking at dolphins, we’ll teach you to observe them, you’ll see them in a different way! • Before arrival we'll pass by the main monuments with short and interesting facts. • Upon arrival and after a quick WC break, we'll teach to identify the species that we saw and some fanservice for those who want to stick a ‘little’ longer.
