You might be wondering when is the best time for a dolphin cruise. It's recommended that you go in the morning or noon when there are fewer people and the water is calmer. The wind picks up and the temperature goes up as the afternoon approaches. Clear water is better for visibility. 31 August 2022
Dolphins respond best to being touched on the rostrum, or their snout. The melon (or forehead) and the blowhole were also very sensitive. When dolphins resurface to breathe, the blowhole is an opening at the top of the skull.
