Disclaimer About Dolphins for Dolphin Tours

Dolphins are wild animals in their natural habitat, they are not in tanks or netted areas. It is highly recommended that you wear polarized sunglasses to cut the glare on the water to be able to better see these beautiful wild dolphins. Swimming with the dolphins is NOT A GUARANTEE; it depends on the current conditions and is up to the captain’s discretion & safety. If the dolphins are feeding, mating, swimming in the shipping channel, or if the waves are too rough we will not be able to swim with them. Swimming with the dolphins does not mean you will be able to touch or pet them, it only means being in the water with them swimming around you. They could be two or 200 feet from you or not come up to you at all. However, it is pretty rare for us to not see the dolphins. If the captain is unable to anchor the boat near the dolphins you will spend that time viewing them from the boat, which can sometimes be a better vantage point and also very exciting as they often are curious or put on a show.

We love our local dolphins and want them to survive for future generations to enjoy. We wish they would be as excited to see us as we are to see them! But unfortunately, that would mean that they are being fed by people on boats, which is not only illegal, but ultimately dangerous for the dolphins. When conditions are safe and dolphins are around, there are many times when we are lucky enough to have dolphins come right up to the swimmers in the water. And the experience can be amazing! But it is not every time…that is the thrill of swimming with WILD dolphins. When it happens it is by their own choice! Not being forced through training or lured with illegal food.

These are wild animals in their natural habitat doing what they want to do. Our encounters observe them on their terms and depend on what they are doing and their mood. Encounters happen pretty often; however, there is no way that we can guarantee it. We are bound by the laws of The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 and subsequent amendments, in addition to the laws of the State of Florida. We are not allowed to feed or harass dolphins, so we don’t and are very strict about that. Thank you for understanding.
