Share Your Dolphin Memory & Win a $100 Amazon Gift Card!

Published November 9, 2026 By John the Dolphin Expert

Christmas is right around the corner, and I have something special to share with you!

After more than 30 years of helping families experience the amazing world of dolphins, I’ve seen thousands of smiles, heard countless stories, and witnessed unforgettable moments.

Now, I want to hear YOUR dolphin story!

My Dolphin World Team and I are celebrating the holiday season with a fun giveaway: the Dolphin World $100 Holiday Contest!

We’re giving one lucky winner a $100 Amazon Gift Card, just in time for Christmas shopping!

🐬 Your Dolphin Experience Could Be Worth $100!

Remember the first time you touched, hugged, kissed, or swam alongside a dolphin?

Maybe it was your child’s first dolphin encounter, a special birthday celebration, a romantic getaway, or a family vacation you’ll never forget.

Those are the memories I love hearing about!

Here’s the exciting part: You don’t have to be a Dolphin World customer to enter!

Whether you enjoyed an interactive dolphin program in Florida, Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean, or anywhere else in the world, you’re welcome to participate if you meet the contest eligibility requirements.

And your experience doesn’t have to be recent. Photos or videos from years ago are welcome!
