I have heard horror stories about dolphin swims in various places so I was unsure about going - it is on the expensive side.......but my husband and I loved it! Yes you take a hour's ride to get there and you go through customs with passport so when we finally got to the location I too was a bit concerned... More

We are not into touristy stuff but we had a great time and they provided a great experience that was worth the money. If you hold off on the photos they will offer you a cheaper package. More

This was an excursion from our rescent cruise. As a photographer I planned on some wonderful photo opportunities. Well there many to be had, I just wasn't the one taking the pictures! When we entered the water - all twelve of us - we were taught how to get the dolphins in a picture perfect pose. Sure enough the dolphins... More

We were on a cruise for our honeymoon and wanted to swim with dolphins, something we've always wanted to do. The place was not well organized, the intro video they showed looked like it was made decades ago, and the facilities were not well kept. The staff did not let us bring a camera into the water- totally understandable. However,... More

Overall, the kids had a good experience. We did the royal package which is 3 more activities than the next highest. It was $157 pp, for 7 people. I got charged for eight, which the company insisted was what I said. They sent me the recording, and when the person said 8, I corrected her, twice, and have the audio... More

Did this as a cruise excursion that included a 50 minute ferry trip from St. Thomas. The ferry ride past St. John was gorgeous - sit upstairs on the open-top deck for the best view. It takes about 5 minutes to clear customs in Road Town and then a 5 minute ride to Dolphin Discovery. You are shown a brief... More

Four of did the delux encounter and though a little on the expensive side though it was worth it. We each had several rides, one a fin pull and the other a two-dolphin foot push. The staff was friendly and worked indivdually as much as they could. One little girl was inclined not to do anything alone but ultimately did... More

My 10 year old daughter and I did this. It was great swimming with, kissing, touching and riding on the dolphins. I would recommend this to anyone. A trip to remember. More

What could be more wonderful than socializing and interacting with dolphins. The dolphins are well cared for-the trainers are very happy to answer any questions about this. WHile there, three of the dolphins were pregnant! This sure says something about their health and habitat! More
