If seeing dolphins is your top priority, a dolphin watching tour is usually the best choice. These excursions are designed to search for dolphins, with captains selecting routes based on current conditions and recent sightings. Dolphins are also commonly seen during reef snorkeling tours, sunset sailing cruises, private boat charters, and fishing charters, but those trips are designed around a different primary activity. While no excursion can guarantee a dolphin encounter, dedicated dolphin tours generally offer the best opportunity to see them in the wild.
