DOLPHIN SWIM ADVENTURE
Intelligent, inquisitive, interactive and nice by nature, dolphins are some of the world’s most lovable marine mammals. This tour gives you a chance to play with one in its natural habitat certified by the Alliance of Marine Parks and Aquariums. After your transfer to the Dolphin Discovery centre, you’ll enter the water with a certified Marine Mammal Specialist, who will guide the session and provide information about the dolphins. Shake a flipper and give “your” dolphin a hug. Then hold on to its fins and prepare to be pulled through the water as it swims backwards during the so-called “Belly Ride”, and then pushed by your powerful Dolphin on a Boogie Board on a thrilling ride above the surface. Following your interactive experience, you can purchase your photos before you re-board your transfer and return to your ship.
