Questions people ask
Are we guaranteed to see dolphins?
Sightings are frequent at Sha'ab Samadai but can never be 100% guaranteed, as the dolphins come and go freely.
Is this trip suitable for non-swimmers?
Life jackets are provided and you can stay on the boat if you prefer, but swimming is the main way to see the reef and dolphins up close.
