Insider tips

  • Mornings offer the best dolphin-spotting conditions; arrive early for optimal sightings.
  • Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a rash guard—the equatorial sun is intense and corals are protected.
  • The dhow experience is most enjoyable in calmer seas; avoid heavy rain seasons for comfort.
  • Swim shoes or water sandals protect your feet from sharp coral and sea urchins.

Good to know

  • Total duration is 12 hours; confirm pickup time and meeting location with your operator the day before.
  • Snorkeling gear is typically provided, but bring your own mask if you prefer a custom fit.
  • Lunch is included and caters to seafood lovers; inform the operator of dietary restrictions in advance.
  • The boat is open-air; sun protection (hat, sunglasses) and a light cover-up are essential.
