From November until April the dolphin and whale watching season starts. This is due to the fact that the winds die out and the ocean becomes flat so that you can easily spot the dolphins in hunderds and if you are lucky blue whales too. Mostly the guests are taken to the beach on the other side of the lagoon in our house boat and then from there a a another boat which is suitable for deep waters come and pick you up. And depending on the wind conditions the boat travels about 2 to 3 km away from the beach towards the known dolphins habitats. Dolphins are mostly in search of tuna fish and there are also few fishermen fishing for tuna in very ecological way, where they use nylon threads with bait. When the boat spots fishermen who are fishing for Tuna mostly you are not far from swans of dolphins. As if the dolphins know that you are watching them they will then start to jump out of the water and deliver a stunning acrobatics session. Even baby dolphins start their acts to impress their visitors.
