description: Dolphin strand feeding is when a pod(group) of dolphins work together to hunt, gather and pushing a school of fish onto a bank, coming completely out of the water to feed. AMAZING and a MUST SEE!

During this expedition(and it is an expedition) we will be taking you to some strand feeding hot spots, searching for any signs that we just might see them on the hunt. These tours are scheduled around low tides and currents, giving you the best opportunity for viewing this incredible event. Please know and understand that although we have a high rate of success, we do not always get to see the strand feeding, BUT we always see dolphins.

When we find a spot where feeding is about to happen we often see birds gathering, to join in the fun. The dolphin will be moving together, up and down the bank. When they find their prey they will start to circle and gather fish closer together. Often you will see one of the dolphin raising their heads out of the water to check the banks for proper slope and size. Then without a noticeable sign(for us) the dolphin create a wake with their heads and bodies, pushing the fish out of the water. All at once they are out with the fish and birds all trying to eat or survive together. Then slide back in, in silence.

Again, although one of our favorite tours WE DO NOT GUARANTEE STRAND FEEDING.
