Snorkeling with dolphins is a highlight — especially when you catch a whole pod swimming together. Many visitors choose to simply enjoy the experience rather than film it underwater.

Tides make a big difference: midday can bring strong waves washing over the beach, while by sunset the water calms down significantly. Plan your snorkeling sessions around the tide schedule for the best experience.
