DOLPHIN WATCHING CRUISE

Wild Dolphins! Fresh Air! Natural Bays! Beautiful Sea!

Catch sight of real, wild dolphins while you cruise alongside Guam's most beautiful coastline with our Dolphin Watching Cruise.

Guam is one of the special places in the Pacific that has a resident population of wild dolphins living just offshore. Every day we go out to view these playful marine mammals using a spacious and stable boat. The trip takes viewers along Guam’s beautiful coast in search of the dolphin pod. Once we find their spot for that day, we carefully observe as they swim at our bow, surface for air, and play. These dolphins are usually spinner dolphins and they are famous for leaping from the sea, jumping, and sinning.

What To Expect

You will leave for the harbor by air-conditioned bus and you will take a short walk down the dock to our custom-built boat at the harbor. Take off your shoes or slippers and relax. We have a large, covered inner cabin where you will sit for your briefing. Once out of the harbor, the captain will tell you you are welcome to come out to our spacious front deck to see the ocean and the Guam coastline. The captain will take you to one of Guam’s bays where the dolphins are being seen that day. Dolphins like to sleep during the day and use their unique sonar to hunt and night. But they often break from their naps to ride in the bow wave of the boat or surf in the boast’s wake. You will be at sea for 45-60 minutes watching dolphins, sea turtles, flying fish, and other marine life while enjoying the fresh air. You will also be given a cold fruit drink refreshment. Afterward, you will motor back along the coast once again and back into one of Guam’s quaint harbors. From there, the air-conditioned bus will take you back to the Fish Eye restaurant.


Private Course


In addition to the above, you will also enjoy a private charter cruise with an exclusive guide to personally cater to your group’s needs. A complimentary light bento box with items such as spam musubi and fried chicken will be provided during the cruise to satisfy your hunger between your lunch and dinner.

You will be transported from your hotel to Fish Eye and the marina and back to your hotel in a private vehicle accompanied by an exclusive guide. (Optional)

Dolphin Watching

 

Q.Where is the meeting points? May I go directly to the Marina in my car?

A.The meeting place is the visitor center of the Fish Eye Marine Park. All participants will be transferred together via bus or van to the departing Marina.

Q.What type of boat does Fish Eye use for the dolphin-watching tour?

A.A speedy sport cruiser is used for the Dolphin watching cruise allowing to quickly reach the dolphin sites. Due to the speed of the cruiser and the short cruise time the chances of becoming seasick are drastically reduced.

Q.How long is the cruising time?

A.The cruise time is approximately 45 to 60 minutes depending on the location of dolphin sightings.

Q.What is the chances of getting seasick?

A.Due to the speed of the cruiser and the short cruise time the chances of becoming seasick are drastically reduced. However, if you are prone to motion sickness then it is recommended to take your medication 30 minutes before the cruise.

Q.Are dolphin sightings guaranteed?

A.Since dolphins are wild animals, there is no guarantee to see dolphins or whales however the average of sighting for the past 5 years is over 80%. The percentage of sightings is very high here in Guam since several species of dolphins reside around Guam all year long.

Q.What happens if dolphins are not sighted?

A.A complimentary gift of original Fish Eye goods such as a hand towel, eco bag for adults, key chain for children, or observatory free will be given.

Q.Is there a difference in the chances of dolphin sightings between the different optional tour companies?

A.Since most dolphin-watching boats and captains share the same information about the locations of the dolphin sightings, the chances of seeing dolphins are the same for all tour companies. Some companies may claim that they have a better sighting rate however this claim is false and only used for manipulative marketing strategy.

Q.Are dolphin cruises conducted on rainy or stormy days?

A.The sport cruiser has an enclosed cabin to protect passengers from the rain and wind however if weather conditions become too hazardous, the licensed boat captain at his discretion may cancel the cruise for the safety of the passengers.

Q.What happens if the tour is canceled due to the weather?

A.If the tour is canceled due to the weather, you will be given a choice of a full refund or to book on another date.

Q.May pregnant women participate in the activity?

A.Yes! Expecting mothers may join the dolphin-watching tour.

A.Yes, as long as both places are designated locations however please inform us in advance.

Q.Can I be dropped off at a shopping mall on my way back to my hotel?

Most dolphins you will see on your cruise are spinner dolphins. They’re small dolphins living throughout the year along the coastal waters of Guam. They love to jump, flip and twist above the surface of the water, thus the name spinners. During your cruise, you may also see some pilot whales. They have a distinct round head and are 10-16 feet long. At times there is also a chance to see a pod of bottlenose dolphins and, if we are very lucky, a sperm whale pod may appear in the summer in the open sea. Dolphins rest by swimming in slow circles close to the sea floors of Guam’s sandy, protected bays. Those with more energy like the dolphin teenagers may swim at the front of our boat. They also love to surf in the boat’s wake. Guam is lucky to have these wild sea mammals and we sincerely hope that this environment will continue to be preserved on our beautiful island of Guam.
