It's sad to see such creatures held captive but to do so in such a sterile environment.... They are intelligent creatures and need of something to stimulate their minds. Their holding tank is just that, a big, empty pool or tank. That said, my husband did swim with them and he enjoyed the experience and the food in their courtyard... More

If money is no object, enjoy! If you prefer to actually swim with the dolphins, wait for Bahamas or discover Cove in Florida for the optimal experience with Dolphins! More

We had a lot of fun at the Dolphin experience. The only issue was that we couldn't take pictures and they wanted $25 for one picture. More

Expect to pay for photos but worth the price. We had almost an hour with the dolphins and loved it. Trainers were friendly and fun. More

Although the cost to ride a dolfin is high, you can go and watch them interact with trainers and guests free of charge. About 5 minutes after the hour, if the families of those who paid to be with the dolfins have not filled the observation area, you are welcome to watch for free. Unfortunately you are not allowed to... More

I booked this trip through my hotel and wished I had read up on it before we went. I took my 5 year old daughter and paid for her to have the amazing opportunity to swim with the dolphins. The hotel did not tell me about the additional and highly expensive photography charges and that I was not allowed to... More

Upside: It was a special experience for the kids. Really wonderful. The place is sparkling clean and the dolphins are well cared for. The dolphins are amazing animals, and it is a treat to touch, kiss and even ride them. A special experience. Downside: The ride was too short, left you wanting much more! Also, pricey! A lot of money... More
