This place is neat if you like dolphins and sharks. If you do the dolphin experience it is fun and all but they rush you thru it. The place has plenty of different things to entertain you other than just the dolphins. The workers are so unpleasant though. Also, they try to sale a bunch of over-priced products. The food... more

This was probably one of the best times my children have ever had. They have different programs you can get and we ended up just getting the "touch encounter" because our 4-year-old was too young for the swim encounter. We were not disappointed in this. It was awesome. We got to be up close and see our dolphin do some... more

We spent a very enjoyable morning at Dolphin Cove. We were not with a crusie ship - and there were none in that day! - which probabaly helped things considerably. We took the swim experience which was a bit expensive but it actually turned out to be the highlight of the familys trip to Jamaica. My children (and my wife)... more

My teenage daughters swam with the dolphins. The event was well organized by highly skilled trainers. The trainers gave individual attention to the swimmers, abiding by their wishes with regards to what they wanted to participate in (one daughter wanted to do everything; one daughter did not want to have the dolphins push her into the air). Book early; arrive... more

We didn't swim with the dolphins but just went to the beach party and explored Dolphin Cove. What a great day, so much to see and everyone was so friendly. Shane, the DJ at the Beach Party, was the friendliest and most helpful person on vacation (and we were on a cruise). Don't miss Dolphin Cove and say hi to... more

My husband and I have always wanted to do this, so we signed up for the "swim with the dolphins" program. Although it was very expensive (about $500 for the 2 of us, including our transportation and tipping) it was worth the money. We were in the water for about 1/2 hour with the dolphins. We did 2 swims: one... more

This was so awesome! You can actually swim out to the dolphins in the lagoon. They also have iguanas and a snake you can hold. Its a huge place alot to look at and stores to go inside. They do record your time with the dolphin and take alot of pics. You get to swim, pet, kiss and get pulled... more

It was fun... I did the deep encounter with two dolphins. I felt like it was a bit short- the dorsal fin push that is. I've always wanted to do it so I'm glad I did. I loved the part when they pushed me out of the water like i was water skiing .Just felt it was a bit over... more

very good.
