Morning Swim with Dolphins in the Morning. It is possible to go out in the evening before the sun sets. Dolphins can be seen at any hour of the day. However, they are more easily spotted when there is less traffic.
The trick is to attract dolphins by floating objects and sweetening them with ballyhoo, Spanish Sardines, and pilchards. It's an economical way to score, as you can sit down and converse with friends while listening to music.
