Spent lots of time touching the dolphin, petting, touching his teeth (a little creepy). We "danced with him, and the trainers really paid attention to what we were doing to signal responses to the dolphins. The Sky jiuce was the best I had on the 5 day trip I had, which may explain why the peas and rice were also... More

First, let me start by saying we loved the Dolphin Swim at Blue Lagoon. It was exactly what I was looking for, for our family (sp+ 10 & 7 yr olds) We were glad we spent the extra $ to do the swim and not the encounter, but honestly, it didn't look like you could lose doing either. With that... More

When we booked our vacation to the Bahamas this was all I wanted to do. The Dolphin Swim was fantastic. It was expensive, but I thought it was well worth the price, because you get to spend alot of time with the dolphins. I got to meet Goombay and Shawn the dolphins. They were very sweet and smart. I especially... More

We went to this nice little private island as a Port Adventure during our Disney Cruise. It was a 30 minute boat ride and then got to spend a few hours enjoying the sand and water. We were able to pull the beach chairs down close to the water and sit with our toes in the ocean while our little... More

30mins boat ride and you've reach this little island. The seclusion of the lagoon, the dolphin encounters, the hammocks, etc etc were very nice. great for kids for educational tour, great for adults that just want to sunbathe or relax on the hammock while sippin' on some bahama mama. More

The island was very cool. Straight out of the movies. We went their to do the Dolphin Encounter, which was amazing. Souveniers and food are very expensive however. All the staff were very friendly. More

We visited here as an excursion on our Carnival cruise. This was our 2nd visit. We had been here about 4 years ago as well to do the dolphin excursion (which was also excellent!) This time we just came to use the beach. Our ticket included a lunch which included bbq chicken, a hamburger (yes both) a salad, and fruit.... More

I took my 4 year old son here in late January. We did the Dolphin Encounter. My only complaint would be the water was too cold....none of the kids in our group (even the older ones) wanted to get in. Still, it was a beautiful day and a lot of fun watching the dolphins swim around and do cute little... More

I was well out of my comfort zone when thinking about swimming with a 350 pound dolphin. What I found was that it was an amazing experience. The staff was friendly and explained things quite well, making me much more comfortable with my decision to get in the water! Stormy (a 19 year old male dolphin) was fantastic! The experience...

At the recommendation of another couple we met at our resort, we did the "Dolphin Swim" at Blue Lagoon Island which we booked through Majestic tours. The Dolphin Swim was $180/person and an additional $9/person for the transport. It was expensive, but well worth it, and one of the highlights of our trip! You have the option to do either... More
