Dolphin encounters are based on respect, communication, trust and are sensitive to the natural activities of the dolphins. We are committed to preservation of the marine environment, backcountry ecosystem and dolphin habitat.
We have an exceptionally high success rate of dolphin encounters, however, due to the nature of a wild encounter, we do not guarantee a dolphin encounter.
As a founding member and co-director of the Florida Keys Wild Dolphin Alliance I have pledged my commitment to comply with the FKWDA code of conduct & guidelines based on the ¿Marine Mammal Protection Act¿ which prohibits harassment, taking and feeding of dolphins
