Short Description

Paddle into Tamarin Bay at sunrise and meet dolphins in their wild habitat during this guided 2-hour kayak adventure.

Full Description

Begin your day early as you meet your guide at Tamarin Bay. After a short safety briefing, launch your kayak into the calm waters of the bay at dawn. Paddle gently toward the deeper parts of the bay, where dolphins often reside after dark.

As the sun rises, keep your eyes open spinner and bottlenose dolphins may appear, surfacing and playing near your kayak. Your guide will help you observe these magnificent creatures in a respectful, nonintrusive way.
