Dolphins do not need to drink water in the same way that humans do, because they are able to obtain the necessary hydration they need through the food they eat. Dolphins are marine animals that primarily consume fish, which are high in water content. In fact, fish can contain up to 70% water.
Dolphins are also able to produce their own fresh water, through a process called osmoregulation. This is the process by which the dolphin's body is able to balance the levels of salt and water in its tissues, and maintain its hydration.

To do this, dolphins have a highly specialized kidney that is able to produce extremely dilute urine, which helps to conserve water. They also have a gland located above their eyes called the gland of salt, which is able to secrete salt from their bloodstream and into the ocean. This helps to balance the salt levels in their body, and keep them hydrated.

While dolphins do not need to drink water in the same way that humans do, they do still need to be exposed to water in order to stay hydrated. This is because dolphins are prone to dehydration, due to the high amounts of energy they expend while swimming. In order to prevent dehydration, dolphins will often swim through shallow water, or rest in areas where they can easily access water.
​
In summary, dolphins do not drink water because they are able to obtain the necessary hydration they need through the food they eat and through the process of osmoregulation. However, they still need to be exposed to water in order to maintain their hydration levels.

​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.
