This eco-friendly catamaran sailing line offers day trips to Dolphin Bay where you can see bottlenose dolphins, swim at the Boca del Drago beach and the coral-filled waters of the Punta Caracol Bay. They claim that it’s possible for visitors to swim with the dolphins because the creatures are not afraid of their "gentle" boats.
