When to go
Local people say the dolphins can be seen on any day the boats go out — but they are wild animals, and nobody can promise a sighting.
Late October to November is usually the monsoon. On days with strong wind and waves the boats stay in. Go by the forecast, and ask the boat owner that morning.
What to bring
- A hat, sunscreen and drinking water
- Wear the life jacket for the whole trip
- Do not feed or chase the dolphins; let the boat drift and watch from a distance
