#6: Wild Side Specialty Tours - dolphins, whales, sea turtles...


Wild Side Specialty Tours are the best kind of nature-tour operators, with a rich fund of knowledge plus deep respect for marine animals in their natural habitat. No wildlife outing offers any guarantee that animals will be spotted, but on a trip in December we were lucky enough to see gray whales, and to swim with a school of spinner dolphins and with a couple of sea turtles.

Wild Side takes small-groups only... no behemoth boats.

... and the scenery's not half-bad either.

Recently issues have come to light regarding Swimming with Dolphins, even in the wild.. Wild Side is the type of company that takes these concerns seriously. Read more at their website.
