Guide to Watching River Dolphins

What To Bring
  • Binoculars
  • Camera
  • Lots of Film
  • Sunblock, sunglasses and a hat
  • Drinking Water
  • Warm Jacket

Do
  • Keep very quiet and you may hear the dolphins breathe, even before you see them

  • Stay alert because the dolphins surface very quickly

  • When you see a dolphin, keep looking in the same area and it may surface again, about a minute later

  • If you see large and small dolphins together, or two surfacing at the same time, they are likely to be mothers with their calves

Don't
  • Try to swim with the dolphins, as this will scare them
  • Feed or chase dolphins
  • Bang loudly on the sides of the boat
  • Stamp your feet or scream
  • Drop your litter - take it away from the river and dispose of it properly
