When to see the dolphins?
The Irrawaddy dolphins live in the Kampi pool all year round, so you can see them in every season.
From around December to May the Mekong is lower and the dolphins gather in the deep water, which makes them especially easy to spot. Early morning and late afternoon are cooler, with soft light for photos.
In the rainy season (June to October), showers are usually short: Novo simply adjusts the time of your tour.
