• Plan for the Morning or Evening: Porpoises are most active at dawn and dusk.
• Keep Your Eyes Peeled: Watch for subtle splashes, surfacing backs, or playful leaps.
• Listen Attentively: Porpoises communicate through whistles, clicks, and squeaks.
• Minimize Noise and Movement: Speak softly and avoid sudden gestures to avoid startling the porpoises. 
• Embrace the Moment: Capture stunning photos and videos, but prioritize creating unforgettable memories.
