Are you interested in going on a dolphin trip? There are several factors you need to consider when picking the right company and you need to make sure that you do this right if you want to have a wonderful experience. Listed below are a few things you need to ask before you make a decision.

What Kind Of Boat Are You Using?

The question is basically oriented for you to know if it is a boat or maybe an inflatable. It will also let you know how big the boat is, what is it made of, and the kind of motors the boat has. You also need to know if the boat is fitted with an emergency radio. In case the boat doesn’t match the description you got when you did your research, then you should think twice. If you feel something is off when the boat arrives, it is also best not to board it. The boat you will use for Myrtle Beach dolphin trip doesn’t have to be a big boat or even a yacht. However, you need to know ahead of time what you will get and where you will board.

How Long Will The Tour Last?

You need to ask your provider how long the tour will last. It is crucial not just for you to get what you’re paying for but also to let you know what special items you might need in case the tour is going to be extended. These include your food, sun protection, glasses, additional clothing, and more. In case the dolphin watching tour is longer than three hours, ask if there food and drinks are included, or if you need to bring your own.

Where Is The Tour Going?

It’s another crucial security measure that you have to know. Find out where the tour is going and inform the other members of your group. If everyone you are with want to come along to the dolphin tour Myrtle Beach, don’t forget to tell your hotel where you are going, the name of the company you hired like Voyager Deep Sea Fishing & Dolphin Cruises and how long you think you will be away.

How Many People Will Attend The Dolphin Tours?

This questions is related to how big the boat is. In case the tour is shared with others, be sure that the boat is not overcrowded. In case the boat is an inflatable boat, take note of the number of people who will board the boat. Be sure to include crew members as a few companies take the boat’s boarding limit capacity but they have 5 members, which means they may exceed the limitations.

What Should You Expect To See?

This one is difficult but at least you’ll get some sort of commitment from the tour operator. Although you already know what you should see, the operator cannot guarantee that dolphins and whales will be at the same place daily. You have to know what your tour operators’ intentions are like if they plan to move to a new location.

How Much Will It Cost

You should also ask beforehand how much the dolphin watch tour will cost you and what else are included. This should be the last question you need to ask after you’ve asked them the previous questions. Don’t forget to ask for child price in case you are bring some kids along.

What Crew Is Going In The Trip?

Here’s where you should get more serious. Keep in mind that there are two types of tours, swimming with the dolphins and watching them only. Even though in both cases, you need to be careful about the crew, you have to take extra care always.

What Equipment Do You Have?

This question is an important one so don’t forget it especially if your dolphin tour includes swimming with the dolphins. If you are not taking your very own equipment, you should ask the operator about the condition as well as the kind of equipment you will get. Whether you are diving or watching only, you need to be sure that you have a life jacket. It should be just you but everyone who will board the boat.
