Based on what each place page describes. Your captain chooses the route and the stops for the sea on the day.
Your captain chooses the stops for the wind and the sea on the day. At Dolphin House, boats keep their distance and never chase or surround the dolphins, and swimmers never touch or feed them. On the reefs, boats tie up to mooring buoys, and nobody touches coral or takes anything from the sea, not even shells.

Boats sail all year. The sea is about 22 °C in February and March and 28 °C in August. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable for a full day at sea. Summer brings the warmest sea and the strongest sun, so a morning start helps. The wind blows from the north all year and is strongest from late May to early October. If the port authority or your captain stops sailing, you choose a new date or a full refund.
