Yes, the captain pauses the route long enough for guests to watch dolphins when they show up. Around Pensacola Bay, Santa Rosa Sound, and Pensacola Pass, the crew follows the dolphins from a reasonable distance instead of cutting across their path or chasing them. NOAA’s dolphin viewing guidance uses 50yd as the minimum viewing distance, so the stop is more of a watch and photo moment than a close up approach.
