EXPIERENCE WITH DOLPHINS
EXPIERENCE WITH DOLPHINS
Our Dolphin Encounter is perfect for the whole family because it gives adults, kids, and non-swimmers of all ages a chance to interact with and learn everything about these friendly and intelligent mammals.
Coming with toddlers and non-swimmers? This is the ideal program for all!
For 20 minutes, you will learn all about the Pacific Bottlenose from the best possible teacher - one of our cheerful dolphins! As part of this small-group program, you’ll communicate with your dolphin like the professionals do and make a new friend for life.
The experience will be a truly magical one that you will never, ever forget.
A Dolphin Encounter for the Whole Family
Under the guidance of our knowledgeable marine mammal specialists, children as young as one can bond with a dolphin through touch and play. Have you ever wondered what a dolphin feels like?
Or dreamed of giving one of these playful animals a hug and getting a wet dolphin kiss in return? You and your family will do all that and more in our specially designed shallow-water habitat.
Your program will begin with a short poolside introduction to our dolphins! Our trainers will share information about the Pacific Bottlenose’s fascinating anatomy, what makes them unique among marine mammals, their history with human beings and their underwater social lives.
From there, you’ll get into the water and start interacting with your new dolphin friend. You’ll feel their sleek skin, give them a treat, play with them, give them a smooch and learn interesting facts about their behavior.
Communicate Directly with Dolphins
On our shallow water platform, you’ll be able to concentrate on the experience of getting to know your dolphin and letting them get to know you. Bonding is the focus of this dolphin encounter, and you’ll discover that these curious creatures are just as interested in learning more about you!
Throughout the encounter, you will feel the warmth and sense the intelligence of what we believe are the ocean's friendliest creatures.
Why Connecting with Dolphins Is Important
We believe everyone should learn how to best protect them from the impact human beings have on their habitats.
When people, especially children, have an opportunity to interact with dolphins through our Dolphin Encounter, they’re inspired both to learn more about what they can do personally to ensure that dolphins in the wild can thrive and to support ongoing research and conservation efforts.
