Description

Sail in a catamaran to nearby Blue Lagoon Island for an unforgettable dolphin encounter and to observe other marine animals in their natural habitats. Not long after leaving Nassau’s historical harbor, you will disembark the catamaran and enjoy a brief but enlightening presentation about Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Once in the water, you will stand on a waist-deep submerged platform that will allow you easy access to the dolphins. A dolphin trainer will be on hand to suggest the best ways to interact with and even touch these highly intelligent cetaceans as they approach you. You can expect an unforgettable experience as dolphins are typically curious and social. You might also observe sea lions that were brought here after being rescued from the Gulf of Mexico in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
