If you have the opportunity to realize your dream to go swimming with dolphins, it’s can be useful to follow a few basic rules so as not to disturb your dolphin friends too much.

Enter the water calmly

Don’t dive, as you risk scaring them away. Don’t forget that in their world, you’re the intruder!

Don’t touch the dolphins

If a dolphin approaches you, don’t try to touch it. Let him take the initiative. If it wants to make contact with you, it will. If you make the first move, you never know how he’ll react. Even if he’s a friendly animal, he’s still a wild one.

Make eye contact

If you get the chance, try to make eye contact with the mammal. The animal is renowned for its sensitivity and great intelligence, and exchanging a glance with it is magical.

Swim discreetly

The more you move in the water, the more the dolphins will want to move away. Adopt a swimming style that’s close to the way they move. Undulating is ideal for swimming with dolphins.

Capture dolphins’ attention

If you want to increase the chances of them approaching you, don’t hesitate to attract their attention by making sounds. Sing, talk or make funny noises to intrigue and entertain them.
