You'll be greeted by your smiling dolphin guide at the end of the dock who will brief you on the day's events. It is only a five-minute walk to the Dolphin Park located within the dock facility. A member of the training team will provide an educational briefing that details what to expect during your dolphin encounter and key points of interest. The Dolphin Encounter is the classic dolphin program which provides an exhilarating dolphin experience for couples, families and guests of all ages. This excursion allows guests to pet and interact with the dolphin on a submerged platform and learn about this amazing creature and their habitat. You'll be surprised by the great intelligence and friendliness of these wonderful marine mammals. Enjoy 30 minutes in the water with the dolphin. This a great dolphin program for non-swimmers!
