Humans and dolphins have a special relationship. If you're drawn to the beauty and playfulness of these cute creatures, then you'd probably enjoy going on a dolphin tour. This gives you the chance to see the dolphins up close rather than far away from a beach. You can take dolphin tours, like the ones provided by FUNPCB, just about anywhere that warm weather and the ocean come together. You can take a long excursion offshore in deep ocean waters or take a quick tour on smoother bay waters where dolphins play. Here are some tours you might enjoy.

Dolphin Cruises And Boat Tours

A dolphin tour is a lot of fun because you get to spend time on the water, which is always relaxing and interesting. You may see other marine life and water birds as well while you watch for the dolphins to appear. An experienced captain knows where to go in search of dolphins and the dolphins seem to know when to expect the boat. Sometimes, they may not be too interested in interacting with the boat, but other times the dolphins seem to enjoy racing the boat, jumping out of the water, and acting playful much to the delight of kids and everyone else in the boat.

A dolphin cruise might last a few hours or just several minutes. Snacks might be included, or you might be served a full meal. A cruise at sunset is a beautiful experience since you can watch the big orange globe slip below the horizon and cast shadows and light beams on the water. Another fun option in a dolphin cruise is to take one that stops at an island. Secluded islands are often in bays or just off the coast that are only accessible by boat. You'll find great shells there and the chance to swim and soak up some sun in seclusion.

Dolphin Tours With Swim Experiences

Some dolphin tours include snorkeling, diving, or swimming with the dolphins. This is an amazing experience because you can watch the animals dive and swim gracefully under the water as well as swim right past you. Not every tour operator offers a chance to swim with dolphins. The ones that do usually have strict regulations on how you can interact with the animals. While they are cute, playful, and lovable, they are still wild creatures and can be unpredictable. Some states even have laws protecting them, which means you probably won't be allowed to touch or pet them. However, just swimming near them and watching how they seem to communicate with you and play with you is enough to make the tour worthwhile.

No matter what kind of dolphin tour you decide to take, you and your family will enjoy watching the animals as they swim near your boat. A relaxing boat ride on a warm day is always a nice treat for kids and adults, and the chance to see dolphins up close at the same time makes it even better.
