Photography Tips
Arrive early for the best light, especially during golden hour. Use a fast shutter speed to capture the dolphins in motion. A zoom lens between 200-400mm is recommended to get close-up shots, but also wide lens will do as they come close to the boat. Be prepared for motion on the boat—stabilize your camera or use a lens with image stabilization. Avoid flash to maintain a natural atmosphere and avoid startling the dolphins.
