Why Catalina Dolphin Tours Offer More Than Just Great Scenery

By Brian Sanders


Sea mammals are among the most intelligent creatures on the planet. They can be large or small, and many are on the endangered species list. Today, people have come to realize their importance to ocean ecosystems as well as the fact that many if not all species have been overhunted to the point of extinction.

Getting to understand creatures that are also part of creation, often needs some good visual tours. Catalina dolphin tours enables people to see and appreciate these creatures in a new way. Dolphins seen in the wild or their natural environments are all the more beautiful and viewable as compared to a seaquarium, for example.

In these seaquarium terms, there have been more outcries for change from concerned people. These public places who make creatures perform or display them have now been awakened to the fact of needing to care for their captives in the right way. People might know how dolphins look at these places, but getting to know what they are requires seeing them in the way nature intended them to be, the same as critical species found in African safaris.

Nature is a delicate and sensitive organism, and not too many people really know what it is all about. Plus, many have to be educated in how interference by human hands have often spelled the doom of species as well as making the planet less habitable and more dangerous for all life. The tour in question takes all these into account, and is therefore a proactive way of seeing how dolphins live.

However, dolphins are still the friendliest animals on earth. They have developed some famous relationships with their human cousins. Those who study them know how they acknowledge humans to be much like them, and that is reason enough to study them well.

For people today, harming or being cruel to dolphins is something that is frowned upon. Yet, there are still those who are doing the business of hunting them down or using them for selfish purposes. These tours around Catalina can give a lot of people, especially the young, the perfect perspective on the life of fellow mammals.

Among the many species of mammals, dolphins are perhaps the closest to humans in terms of consciousness. Dogs, cats and horses have been domesticated, but sea mammals have survived on their own distinct and natural processes. In times before, they have been hunted and killed relentlessly, as food and as competing creatures during whale hunts.

The tour around the Catalina coastline is very scenic, peaceful and, of course, travels on some a traditional gathering ground for dolphins. There are also charter cruises that incorporate diving, the better to see and even perhaps communicate with these most popular denizens of the deep. They remain the most friendly and non violent species that humans can interface with.

They can even be the most vital link in the evolutionary chain for scientists, so that the Catalina tours are themselves part study, with guides recording and reporting on how dolphins behave. This is also great for making the bond and interface better between men and dolphins. And it might perhaps be very important to how all beings survive on earth.
