This is something I've wanted to do my whole life. I love dolphins. I do not think we had enough hands on for the price though. We were in the water, but we were mostly just spectators. We were able to do 3 poses each for pictures and then my family was able to pet the dolphin for a moment for a picture and that was it.

I went with my 14 year old grandson and we had an amazing experience swimming with the dolphins. It has always been a dream of mine and it lived up to all of my expectations. It was well worth the price. Everything is well run and the trainers are fantastic! Give yourself and your family this special treat.

My daughter and I enjoyed the Swimming With Dolphins experience. It was amazing, trainers were excellent, had us do many different fun activities with our dolphin! Well worth the money!!

So much fun. Wish group was smaller for more interaction with the dolphins. Good experience.

A great uncrowded opportunity to be close to the dolphins and learn about them.
