Dolphin Lagoon
When you purchase a dolphin swim package you will enter the water with a trainer to get real close and personal with a bottlenose dolphin for up to 30 minutes. You will learn how the trainers get the dolphins to obey commands and what steps are taken to keep them healthy. Then you will warm up to your new dolphin friend with nose rubs, fishy kisses and fin-filled hugs. Then the highlight of your day- an opportunity to grab the fin or new friend and take an amazing ride across the lagoon.
