Dolphin
Pods of dolphins are seen off Sodwana throughout the year, riding the swell close to the launch and delighting everyone on an ocean safari. They often appear when least expected, surfing a wave line off the beach while you watch from the sand.
When and where to see them
Dolphins are possible on any day of the year. Ocean safaris encounter them regularly, surfers and swimmers share waves with them, and they often pass within sight of the beach.
