Salt spray snaps at the edges of your vision as the guide’s Yamaha cuts a white line across the Indian Ocean. At Galu Beach the shoreline leans into wide coral flats and low dunes; the guide threads a route along the coast, eyes scanning for the arced backs that signal dolphins riding the bow wave. The rhythm of the sea sets the pace — sudden thrusts, then a steady glide.

Check tide timing
Confirm the operator’s recommended departure time the day before—low tide can restrict where you can safely ride and see dolphins.
Wear reef-safe sunscreen
Choose a sunscreen labeled reef-safe and reapply; the operator may not allow oily sprays that harm coral.
Secure electronics
Use a waterproof case or dry bag for phones and cameras; operators often capture photos but you’ll want backups.
Follow the guide’s distance rules
Keep to the guide’s instructions on approaching dolphins to avoid stressing wildlife and to comply with local regulations.
