Dolphin Dhow: Swimming with the Kenyan dolphins is the grand prize of a day on the best excursion on the coast of Kenya.

 

A dolphin swim depends on a calm sea and dolphins in a playful mood - fortunately a common scenario. We are facilitators in nature's realm so each trip is a unique experience crafted from the day's ingredients. Some things remain constant, however, - the stunning beauty of coral islands carved by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, A magnificent coral reef (that many have compared with the Great Barrier Reef and the Red Sea), Dolphin Dhow's romantic sailing dhows and their friendly crews that delight in tending to your every whim, and an exotic Swahili lunch served "al-fresco" on board in a tropical island cove.

 

General information: The dolphins off the East Africa coast are part of the sub-species Tursiops truncantus aduncus, whose distribution area is the Indo-Pacific Ocean as well as the Red Sea. They can measure up to 3.40m in length witha weight of up to 350 kg, pale grey on the back and flanks, the stomach is white and, in the oldest dolphins, dotted with grey patches. They generally eat fish and small cephalopods.

 

The most commonly known of these cetaceans are the dolphins of Shark bay in Western Australia that have already woven links with Aboriginal fishermen for several generations. Nowadays interactions between humans and dolphins are regulated by Australian government rangers due to large-scale tourism development that is becoming dangerous for the dolphins.
