We are fortunate enough to see some very interesting things when out on Jervis Bay,
Such behaviours are all an important part of Dolphin (& Whale) communication and can mean a range of things. If the slaps are soft and gentle, the dolphin may be alerting other dolphins or trying to gain their attention. A single explosive slap – or a succession of much firmer slaps is a definite warning sign.
Sometimes we also see it as a form of play!Check out our Facebook or Instagram videos to check out some dolphin tail slapping action!
Or jump on board one of our cruises and see it for yourself!
