Snorkeling on Wild Side Specialty Tour

As we sailed even closer to shore in a favorite bay of the spinner dolphins, we found a pod which appeared to be moving in towards shore.

Carefully and under clear and strict instructions from Tori and Kara we entered the water to see if the spinner dolphins would approach. Unfortunately, just as we got into the water, the dolphins headed back out to sea.

While were all disappointed, we realized that it's all really a matter of luck if you follow the rules and don't invade the dolphins’ space.

We were called back to the boat and told we'd be sailing to a spot for a special snorkeling treat.
