The Dolphin Swim Immersion is an unforgettable 30-minute interactive dolphin experience that combines shallow-water fun with the excitement of swimming and snorkeling alongside dolphins in deeper water. Your adventure begins in shallow water, where you’ll come face-to-face with a bottlenose dolphin and, under the guidance of professional trainers, enjoy opportunities to touch, pet, play, interact, and participate in trained dolphin behaviors. Once you’re comfortable, you’ll put on a scuba-style mask and enter deeper water to snorkel alongside the dolphins, watching their incredible speed, grace, and movement both above and below the surface. The grand finale is the famous dolphin belly ride or dorsal tow ride, where you’ll hold on as a dolphin carries you across the pool. This exciting combination of hands-on interaction, underwater exploration, and a thrilling dolphin ride makes the Dolphin Swim Immersion a truly special vacation memory!
