Dolphin spotting is the activity of observing dolphins in their natural habitat, typically in oceans or coastal areas. Many people enjoy this experience as it allows them to see these intelligent and playful creatures up close. Dolphin spotting can be done from boats, beaches, or even during guided tours. The best times for dolphin spotting are usually during early morning or late afternoon when the water is calm and visibility is high. Various species, such as the bottlenose dolphin and common dolphin, can often be seen swimming, leaping, or socializing in pods.
