We will be cruising in the bay, looking for resident pods of bottlenose dolohins. The guide will give you as much info as needed. Once behavior has been assessed, we will get into the water to have the dolohins leasing the way. It's rgeur choice, we don't feed them, nor push them to do anything they don't want to.

Frequently Asked Questions (8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Wild Dolphin Encounter in Puerto Vallarta?
