DOLPHIN AT MOON REEF

Witnessing the spectacular sight of these creatures performing in their home patch is a unique gift of nature that captures the heart and is not easily forgotten. The numbers swell as the boat approaches home territory, where they surf along the bow, perform synchronised breaches of the water surface and amazing leaps of nearly two metres above the water.

Social time starts off with several dolphins swimming together, rubbing pectoral fins and being extremely tactile with one another. Sometimes the younger dolphins and babies will play games with one another, playing tag with a piece of seaweed and even wrestling each other.
