Bahía de los Delfines (Dolphin Bay)
Bahía de los Delfines
A calm bay where bottlenose dolphins live year-round. On almost every island-hopping trip, dolphins can be seen swimming alongside the boat.
Dolphin Bay lies between Isla San Cristóbal and the mainland. The bay is enclosed and its waters are calm. A resident group of bottlenose dolphins lives and breeds here, and they can be seen almost every day. It is usually the first stop on a day island-hopping tour, where boats pause for about 15–20 minutes to watch. Because so many tour boats come here, choose an operator that follows whale-watching guidelines: no chasing, no encircling, and keeping a respectful distance. A cacao farm nearby can also be visited.
