Top South Padre Island Activity: Dolphin Watching
Seeing friendly and playful bottlenose and spinner dolphins, as they perform their acrobatics, is one of the top activities you can enjoy during your South Padre vacation. For the best experience, keep the following tips in mind:
1. Book dolphin spotting tours in advance: You can join boat expeditions to see dolphins from morning until sunset. They typically last between one and a half and two hours. These tours are very popular, so secure your spot ahead of time, especially during summer.
2. Take videos of the action: Like many wildlife species, dolphins blend into their natural environment well, and dart quickly in and out of the water, which renders taking photos difficult unless you're a pro. For these reasons, taking videos can be much easier, and more entertaining.
3. Observe migratory and local birds: Bottlenose dolphins are the stars of the show and the reason why most vacationers join boat tours. If you take a look at the sky, though, you'll see various bird species, and maybe even rare ones such as the brown pelican and peregrine falcon.
