Swim
with the Dolphins
The
90-minute experience begins with an educational
presentation that will give you a deeper understanding of the
dolphins' physiology, environment and the training techniques
we use to communicate with these amazing animals.
Following the orientation, small groups of guests begin their
thrilling in-water dolphin experience. As you become
acquainted with our dolphins through hugs, kisses and
rubdowns, you will notice that the dolphins enjoy interacting
with you. Then, taking the relationship one step further, you
can swim and play with your dolphin... maybe even take an
exciting belly ride or dorsal tow!
