Swim with Dolphins:
This is the experience of a lifetime! Begin with an informative presentation about dolphins. The trainer will then lead the group through an unforgettable 30-minute swim session with the playful dolphins of Dolphin Cove. Frolic with these gentle mammals; this is the ideal time to try a foot push or a dorsal pull—only available with this package.

Dolphin Encounter Swim:
After a brief informational session, enter the watery world of the dolphin. Spend an amazing 30 minutes in the water with one of these gentle creatures as it "kisses" and interacts with the group.

Dolphin Touch Program:
Ideal for young children. After a brief educational session, wade into the shallow waters for a touch encounter with the friendly dolphins. These social mammals are sure to delight kids of all ages!

Jungle Trail: Available with all three of the above encounters
Meander through dense tropical foliage while looking for animals resting and playing in their native habitats. Iguana snakes and reptiles are fed as knowledgeable guides tell stories. Caribbean birds—including macaws and parrots—are sure to entertain! Sea creatures like stingrays, eels, fish, and turtles reside in the seaside lagoons.
