Description

Enjoy the ultimate dolphin experience by swimming with these highly intelligent marine mammals and then letting them take you on exhilarating rides across the enclosed lagoon at Ocean World. Before you enter the water, the trainers will brief you on how best to interact with the dolphins and describe a bit about their behavior. Bottlenose dolphins are social animals, exceptionally playful and extremely curious. You can expect them to swim directly to you for a hug. Few experiences are quite so memorable as sharing the water with dolphins in such close proximity. To demonstrate their strength and speed, the dolphins will take you on a belly ride across the lagoon. Hop on a boogie board, and they will push you across the water. You will have plenty of time to enjoy other animal encounters at the bird sanctuary and by snorkeling in the reef aquarium.
