Now it’s time to interact with the dolphins. Take part in a dolphin experience and watch the dolphins being fed by experienced officers. Unfortunately, visiting times are on their terms – while they are only offered fish during their first three visits between 7:45 am and 12 noon, they often visit the beach outside these times, but it is hard to predict when. Although rare, there are days when the dolphins do not visit the beach. Make sure to arrive early in the day as dolphin experiences may finish well before noon.
