Dapoli – Dolphin Safari (Part 2)
When we decided for Dapoli the main attraction was Dolphins. We saw some snaps of it on the net, also some videos on youtube about it but still I was having doubt in my mind that in Maharashtra cost can we really see dolphins? When we were searching for resorts on net, we called one resort and then asked him about dolphin safari and he said ‘baslya baslya dolphins distat ithun’. Still I was having doubt.
Keeping that doubt in mind we reach to Dapoli – Murud beach Saturday early morning. After getting fresh and having breakfast we did the enquiry about charges and duration of dolphin safari. The safari is available in the morning and the guys who arrange it are there to welcome the tourist. Also we asked whether really we can see the dolphins and he said yes. One of us warned him that if we do not see then will sue you :p. We paid him for safari and then they gave us life jackets as safety major. We been boarded on boats and after all arrangements it started. I was seating at one side of boat and I could touch the sea water from the boat. They took us on one side of beach, we were on the boat now for almost and half an hour. We did some photography on board as usual. Half an hour passed but we could not see anything. Our eyes were searching here and there thinking we could see something but nothing but sea eagles everywhere. We started teasing each other, did you see dolphin I saw one here?. After some time we saw another boat coming our side. That boat come near by us and stopped so did our boat. Then both in charge of our boats had some discussion and then they turned our boat and started taking our boat in other direction then again we were travelling almost for 30 minutes and still we could see nothing. Then we saw other boat little far from us and it was standing still in water so our incharge of boat decided to take it there.
We started going near to that boat and we realise why they are there. We went closer and closer and suddenly we saw some gray colour fins coming out from the sea water level and going back in sea. We went little more nearer and then they were almost everywhere, 15-20 in numbers. We took out our cameras and started clicking those but they were not getting captured clearly. Some more time passed but we could see just fins and part of their body and yes suddenly one of them came out fully from water level and went back inside making splash in sea water. This was the first time we saw the whole dolphin. Back to that few more dolphins did the jump and we all were so happy and excited. It was like they knew we were watching them and they were entertaining us. Some more time few of them did the real dolphin jump. None of the jump we could capture in camera. We spend some more time watching them. For me it was like completed one of my wish to see dolphins and that is also in open sea. We headed back to beach with all happy memories and while on return we were thinking about the guy to whom we paid for this. Now he does not have to face and legal action against him ;)
