Dolphins, swimmers and boats - We decided to go on this trip the day before and should have checked the weather and arrangements better. At the beach where the boats launch near Nungwi, there were no changing facilities or toilets. The boat headed out to sea to join many others where dolphins briefly jumped out of the water in groups and people jumped out of boats to swim with them. The dolphins moved and the swimmers and boats followed with everyone looking for where the dolphins would appear next. It was pretty chaotic, but everyone looked out for each other and the dolphins. The boat captain expertly chopped a beautiful fruit platter as we watched, bouncing on the water. It was great until the rain poured down and soaked everyone - none of the boats had roll down side covers found in other parts of the world. It was a wet and cold trip back to the beach, but a wonderful experience overall.

Please change your practice. Distance respect and watch quietly. - Sadly an awful experience. The dolphins were mobbed by the boats. No respect for these wild animals. We declined the offer to swim with them. Please respect them or you will lose them
