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 on time; have the time of your life!

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 Shane!

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 where your hold their dorsal fins and they pull you in a semi-circle and the other where they push you from the back of your feet until you're standing. We also had a chance to kiss and be kissed by the dophins. Finally, we ended with our dolphins, Misty and Pepe, putting on a little performance for us. It was incredible, and I'd highly recommend it for a person of any age.

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 by the dolphin. They do tricks and its so cool!

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 priced$ 233 dollars to deep swim and $112 dollars for admission for my husband to watch me. There is not mush to do there.... for that price ....We did do the mini boat ride that was fun..... I do recommend this for children they will have a blast they have cheaper packages....
