It's time for a dip! It's time to get up close and personal with the wild dolphins.  You'll be thoroughly briefed and supplied with the right clothing, snorkel and a mask before being gently sliding over the side of the boat as these magnificent marine mammals dart, swim and play around you.  Absolutely exhilarating.
