| “Seeing the wild whales and dolphins
left me awestruck and inspired! I will never forget it.”
– Pacific Whale Foundation On your tour, you’ll witness dolphin fraternity at its best – socializing, frolicking and living their lives as nature intended. Built for speed, these natural acrobats love to ride the ship’s bow, leap high in the air and playfully pursue their companions through the ocean’s depths. You may even see dolphins at work, using military-style maneuvers to catch their dinner or even chase a fish clear out of the water! Going Wild Nothing beats the experience of seeing dolphins as they navigate their world guided by their natural instincts, cruising the waves or just hanging out with their pod mates. Today’s traveler knows that wild species and habitats need to be preserved. And they know that artificial environments cannot meet the needs of complex, intelligent marine mammals. So ecotourists are voting with their dollars to ensure that community leaders get the message: Wild is in!
