Absolutely! Children and beginners are welcome to join the trip and enjoy watching the dolphins from the safety and comfort of the boat.However, only confident swimmers are allowed to enter the open water during a dolphin encounter. Swimming with dolphins can involve waves, currents and deeper water, so being able to swim safely and independently is essential. Life jackets are available, but they do not replace good swimming ability.Entering the water is always optional and only possible when our captain considers the sea conditions and situation safe. As every Tortuga journey is private, we can adapt the pace and experience to the needs of your group.Please let us know the children’s ages and everyone’s swimming ability in advance.
