Bought a great pair of badly needed sunglasses at the shop. Much better than the crap in the marketplace. Also had a drink and a bite which were solid. More

Unfortunately, I have very Sad memories of this trip. I am not telling anyone not to do this (Dolphin Encounter) because it would have been absolutely wonderful if the dolphin hadn't bit my 6 year old daughter. We still love dolphins and have learned that they are a lot like dogs! Who know why he decided to bite her but... More

I apologize for the delay in responding to your review, but I wanted to investigate the matter first. We have no record of this incident at UNEXSO-The Dolphin Experience. I have personnally spoken to all of our dolphin staff at our facility at Sanctuary Bay and no one knows anything about this incident. Would you please contact me at 1-800-992-3483... More

After a lot of research and comparing reviews, I decided to go with Unexso. We left the cruise ship and found the tour guide, took a short bus and boat ride. Everyone was very hospitable! It is very obvious they love their job! We got in groups of 6 then got in the water. You go in groups of 2... More

I travel to teach on a regular basis, and decided to bring two rebreather students to Grand Bahama to complete their weeklong, air-diluent, full decompression program. They had fun... I had fun. From Day One, my students were treated with respect and politeness. ALL the staff, from office administration folks to the guys cleaning up walkways and painting walls, were... More

Swimming with the dolphins was absolutely a high light of our trip. Unexso has a great staff, very well trained animals and a great facility to jump in the water and swim with the fishies!
