DON'T DISTURB THE DOLPHINS
Swimming with dolphins has been illegal since 2006, although shady tour operators out
for a quick buck may encourage it. Research indicates that in some heavily touristed
areas, dolphins are leaving their natural habitat in search of calmer seas. When your boat
comes across these amazing creatures of the sea, avoid the temptation to jump in with
them - you can still have an awe-inspiring experience peacefully observing them without
disturbing them.
