- What Will You Do
- After the educational briefing, guests enter the deep, natural, ocean-water lagoon to experience a variety of behaviors with our Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Guests will experience behaviors such as kisses, hugs, belly rubs and so much more.- The dolphins may push guests by the feet, pull them through the water by their dorsal fin, or allow the guest to lay on their belly while they transport them from one part of the lagoon to another.
- Guests are allowed to gently touch the dolphins in a variety of behaviors, guided by a trainer on the dock. The trainer guides both the guests and the dolphins through a series of interactive behaviors in the deep water.
- This program is NOT timed, to allow for the maximum amount of interaction between the dolphins and the participants.
- Guests who have experienced other dolphin swim programs always say that DPMMR's swim is the best because we allow the guests to experience a more personalized interaction with less people in the water at one time.
