01 · Things to do
A way to experience the place
Go for the lagoon as well as its wildlife. Never ask for dolphins to be chased or surrounded for a closer photograph.
02 · Things to do
Before you go
Agree on the route, charges, return point, boarding arrangements and what happens if conditions change.
03 · Things to do
Leave room for the day
A good lagoon day need not depend on a dolphin photograph. Ask about a shorter outing or a shore-based alternative if conditions or boarding do not suit your group. Confirm any change and its cost before setting out.
