FAQ
Can I swim with dolphins on this tour?
No, Ocean Joy Cruises is a certified Dolphin Smart operator, meaning they adhere to strict guidelines for responsible viewing of dolphins. They do not interfere with dolphin's behavior in their natural habitat.
Do I need to be able to swim to participate?
If you want to snorkel, some swimming ability is good for comfort and safety. However, many non-swimming participants in the past were happy to utilize their snorkeling vests to keep them buoyant. The crew is more than happy to assist beginners.
Are you required to wear a life jacket?
No, life jackets are not required to be worn but they are available throughout the boat in case of emergency.
Is there a safe place to store my belongings while on tour?
