Dolphin Trip (Coastal Trip)

Photograph the camera happy Dolphins doing their somersaults for your camera. These are gentle creatures that play play in gay abandon totally comfortable with your presence. Also catch a glimpse of the  the fishing trawlers or the barges as they ferry iron ore to ocean going vessels. Dolphin sighting trips in Goa are organized from October to May and are indeed very enjoyable.

Dolphins in Goa are mainly the Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin, where you are often able to view these dolphins from a close distance, swimming, jumping and frolicking in the warm, deep seas of Goa. The Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin is a member of the genus Sousa. These dolphins are characterized by the conspicuous humps and elongated dorsal fins found on the back of adult members of the species. They are found close to shore along the coast of West Africa (Atlantic species/variety) and right along the coast of the Indian Ocean (including Seas of Goa) from South Africa to Australia (Indo-Pacific species/varieties).
