Ponta do Ouro

A unique and unforgettable experience that allows people to know the amazing beach of Ponta de Ouro with fresh and clear water. For who wants to swim with wild dolphins in their natural habitat, it will be an amazing experience. Instead of observing dolphins from a distance in captivity, these swims provide an opportunity for individuals to have a more intimate, immersive and conservative experience with these intelligent and playful marine creatures. This trip includes a dolphin swim and a shallow reef snorkel to spot turtles, rays and tropical marine fish. The total duration is approximately 2h45* minutes, which includes a 2 hour long boat trip - depending on the sightings and behaviour of the dolphins.
