What To Expect
The Common dolphins are an ocean species of dolphin, this means they are usually only seen in deep water located out in the open ocean. This is why we use our custom built boats modelled on fast first response coast guard vessels, as it allows us to travel upto 10km out to sea in a short amount of time.
