Dolphin safari

In recent years we have gotten to know the dolphins' behaviour better - and they have also gotten to know our safari boats. Event though you should never set your clock based on a dolphins whereabouts, there is often a pattern in, when they show up in the canal.

Some days we are lucky and they are nearby from morning until evening. Other days we see them only sporadically. And on a few days it happens, that we don't see them at all. We see dolphins on average on 90% of our dolphin safaris - that is a pretty wild thing to be able to say in Denmark.

The chances to see dolphins in Thyborøn Canal are best at the end of or early in the day. That is why we have decided to offer the tours, when we do. We want to increase your chances of experiencing the dolphins. If you want a wonderful boat trip during the day, we recommend a seal safari instead. With as large of a colony of seals as we have in the area, the likelihood of seeing seals is the same in the morning as it is in the evening. Through five years we have seen seals on 100% of our seal safaris.

We do not give a dolphin guarantee on this tour. The animals are wild animals, who decide themselves when and where they want to be here. We do however guarantee a lovely sail filled with lots of stories about the animals and the area in general. The animals' welfare determine the tour. Everyone's safety - both the animals and our own - is the number one priority.

Before bringing a baby or young child on this tour, please be aware that children can react very differently to being on a boat. Some enjoy the movement and the new surroundings, or may even sleep through the entire trip, while others may feel uncomfortable or become upset more easily.

One important thing to keep in mind is that the tour cannot be interrupted if your child becomes distressed. As there are other paying guests on board, the tour must continue as scheduled. Spending an hour and a half on a boat with an inconsolable baby is not a pleasant experience for anyone.

It is not only babies and very young children who may feel uneasy. If you are unsure whether this experience is suitable for your child, we recommend talking to them about the tour beforehand. On the front page of our website, you will find a video where you can see the boats and get a feel for what the tour is like. You are also welcome to stop by the harbour before making a booking.

Ultimately, you know your child best and are therefore the best person to judge whether this tour is likely to be a good experience for them.
