Diving with striped dolphins is a unique opportunity as they are not as inquisitive as their bottlenose cousins and, since they are extremely fast, agile swimmers, chances are they may swim away before you even have the chance to see them. You are more likely, however, to get an exciting show if you ever encounter them top side. Often times they can be found riding the wakes of boats and, being one of the most energetic and athletic of the dolphin species, have been known to jump up to 20 feet above the water’s surface performing their own species-specific maneuver called the “roto-tail” where they whip their tail in a circular motion while leaping out of the water. To see these nimble, rapid swimming mammals in action check out the map below for the best areas where they can be found.
