Visit the popular marine attraction Dolphin Quest Bermuda, located on an ocean peninsula in a historic fort, now known as the National Museum of Bermuda and home to the most playful creatures in the sea. Begin your 1.5-hour adventure with a quick walk to the facility, meet the knowledgeable trainers, and don the required life vest. The bottlenose dolphins will demonstrate some of their behaviors, and at the end of the presentation, you are given an opportunity to touch and interact with them from a submerged platform. Then, enter the sheltered lagoon for the unforgettable opportunity to splash and swim with a playful dolphin. At the conclusion of your experience, purchase memento photographs and then, at your leisure, visit the adjacent National Museum of Bermuda (free of charge) for immersive exhibits in Bermuda history and heritage. Return to port after this splashing-good time. Wear swimsuit and bring a towel.
