Dolphin Swim Experience
Perfect for those who feel comfortable in the water and beginner swimmers!
The Dolphin Swim Experience is an unforgettable way for you and your family to get up close with our amazing bottlenose dolphins. Aside from getting to swim with dolphins, you can also get a hug and a kiss from your new marine friend.
Another great part of your 30-minute experience is learning more about the dolphin you’re interacting with thanks to our knowledgeable Marine Mammal Specialists—this educational aspect is perfect for kids, combining learning with fun.
This experience is best for families who:
- Have children 4 years of age and older
- Looking for an introductory dolphin swim experience
This experience is not suitable for pregnant women.
Dolphin Signature Swim
Multiple interactions including underwater action!
If you’ve carved out a little more time in your itinerary, the Dolphin Signature Swim is a great way for you and your family to meet and swim with dolphins.
Upon arriving at one of the 2 American Humane Certified Dolphin Centers in Cabo, you’ll get an educational tour from one of our marine mammal specialists. After your briefing, you get to enjoy a full 40 minutes of swimming and interacting with a wonderful Pacific Bottlenose dolphin in our crystal-clear saltwater pool. Choose your swim: belly swim, underwater dolphin swim or underwater belly swim.
If you want to enjoy a more intimate adventure with your family, the Dolphin Signature Swim is also available to book for smaller, private parties.
This experience is best for families who:
- Have children 4 years of age and older
- Want a little more time with their dolphins than the Dolphin Swim Experience offers but still prefer a shorter encounter.
This experience is not suitable for pregnant women.
Dolphin Premium Swim
The most complete program available!
If a dolphin swim experience is a high priority on your list of adventures, you don’t want to skip out on the Dolphin Premium Swim.
Like the other experiences, you meet with a Marine Mammal Specialist at one of our American Humane Certified Dolphin Marine Centers for a tour before meeting our Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins. The Dolphin Premium Swim, however, includes round-trip transportation and lunch!
This 50-minute encounter makes the experience perfect for larger families, allowing them to focus on enjoying the adventure. Additionally, the educational factor is a great way to keep older children engaged with the experience as they can enjoy dolphin underwater sounds.
This experience is best for families who:
- Have children 4 years of age and older
