Swim With The Dolphins In Nassau Photo #1 of 2 Photo copyright ShoreTrips.com.

Overview

Swim, play, hug, kiss, and dance with dolphins - what a cool experience!

There are big differences among the many dolphin experiences that are promoted throughout the Caribbean. Some arrangements break my heart when I see these large mammals in a confined space. Others earn my respect. The company that runs this tour is a member of the Alliance of Marine Mammals Parks and Aquariums, as well as the International Marine Animal Trainers. They work hard at keeping their dolphin family content.

If you're lucky enough to reserve a Swim with the Dolphins experience, you'll have the unique opportunity for playful, educational interaction with these wonderful mammals in the beautiful turquoise waters of an ocean lagoon. The program begins with an orientation, which briefly covers the natural history of dolphins, animal training techniques, ocean conservation, and Watchable Wildlife Guidelines.

Once in your life jacket, you'll enter the water in a small group and swim and play with the dolphins for 30 minutes. You'll experience the joy of a dolphin hug and kiss, dance with our stars, and then marvel at their strength as you're propelled across the lagoon during the amazing foot push!

Throughout the program, trainers will focus on allowing everyone to enjoy a high degree of interaction with the dolphins, while teaching about these amazing mammals in their natural habitat.

Professional photo and video staff will be capturing your swim so you'll have a chance to take home priceless souvenirs of your memorable experience.
