Common questions about this trip

• I've never kayaked — is that OK?

  Yes — these are stable double-kayaks (you'll usually share with another paddler), and the guide leads the group. The bay is calm in the mornings. If you can paddle a beer pong table you can paddle this.

• Sunrise or 9am — which is better?

  Sunrise. Colder start but the water's flatter, the light is better and the dolphins are usually more active. 9am is fine if you're not a morning person — the wildlife is still there.

• What if there are no dolphins?

  Wildlife guarantee — they re-book you for free on any future tour. Honest fact though: the 90% sighting rate is real. Most tours genuinely see them.
