Sunset Cruise Anna Maria Island

There are a few different theories as to why dolphins might circle a person or a group of people. One possibility is that the dolphins are simply curious and are investigating the unfamiliar presence in their environment. Dolphins are known to be highly intelligent and social animals, and they have been observed exhibiting curious behavior towards other species, including humans.

Another possibility is that the dolphins are trying to communicate with the person or group. Dolphins use vocalizations, body language, and touch to communicate with each other, and it is possible that they are trying to establish some kind of communication with the people they are circling.
A third possibility is that the dolphins are trying to protect the person or group. Dolphins have been known to exhibit protective behavior towards humans, particularly in cases where the person is in distress or is being threatened by another animal. It is possible that the dolphins are trying to defend the person or group by circling them.

It is important to note that it is not uncommon for dolphins to approach and circle people in the water, especially in areas where dolphin encounters are common. However, it is always important to remember that dolphins are wild animals and should not be touched or distressed in any way. If you are in the water with dolphins, it is important to give them space and respect their boundaries.

If you want to see dolphins on a boat tour, there are a few things you can do to increase your chances of spotting them. Here are some tips:
  1. Choose the right time and place: Some areas are known for having higher populations of dolphins, so you may want to research and choose a boat tour in one of these locations. You can also increase your chances of seeing dolphins by going on a boat tour during the times of day when dolphins are most active, which is typically early morning or late afternoon.
  2. Look for signs: Dolphins are often spotted by their characteristic "splashing" or "jumping" behavior. Keep an eye out for any unusual activity on the surface of the water, as this could be a sign that dolphins are nearby.
  3. Listen for clicks and whistles: Dolphins use vocalizations to communicate with each other, and these sounds can often be heard from a distance. If you hear any unusual clicks or whistles while on the boat tour, it could be a sign that dolphins are nearby.
  4. Keep an eye out for other wildlife: Dolphins often travel with other marine life, such as seals, whales, and birds. If you see any of these animals while on the boat tour, it could be an indication that dolphins are nearby.
  5. Stay quiet: Dolphins have excellent hearing and are more likely to approach the boat if it is quiet and not making too much noise.

We look forward to seeing you soon,
