Dolphin Spotting Sail on a Private Yacht

A private 2-hour sail from Panjim out to where the Mandovi meets the sea, looking for dolphins

Head out from Panjim on your own private yacht, sailing down the Mandovi to the mouth of the river and the open sea, where dolphins are often seen feeding and playing.

Keep an eye out for Indo-Pacific humpback and bottlenose dolphins. Early-morning sails give the calmest water and the best chance of a sighting — and the whole yacht is yours, for up to 12 people.
