Experience a Swim with the Dolphins


Nowadays people think about various types of vacation packages. When you want to experience something unique and different just look for a last minute vacation. Going on a vacation to a tropical location offers many different options and one of the more unique things to do is swimming with dolphins.

Many different locations offer the option to swim with dolphins.  You can choose from locations such as Florida, the Caribbean, and Hawaii. Each of these places will offer similar experiences with the dolphins. There are usually different programs you can choose on a
last minute holiday.  The most common and cheaper option is a simple dolphin swim. In order to do this, participants must take part in a short training session that will teach them how to properly treat the dolphins. This is usually followed by a short, supervised dolphin swim lasting approximately half an hour or you can take a one to two day workshops.  The cost for these dolphin swims varies starting from $79. Children must be at least 6 years old to swim with the dolphins and children between the ages of 6 and 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

Meet with a trainer who will guide you through the experience. Wade into the lagoon and become acquainted with the dolphins with the assistance of a trainer. Learn the proper way to touch, pet and interact with the dolphins. Use your waterproof camera to take photos to capture the memories of your
last minute holiday. You can learn to ride on the back of a dolphin by holding onto its dorsal fin. The dolphin will allow you to ride back to shore holding onto its fin.

Another program you can try is to spend a day learning to be a trainer.  You will have the opportunity to build a relationship with the dolphins and experience the dolphins in their element.  New trainers begin by learning how to play with dolphins and the games they enjoy best.  Your day will bring an understanding of how to read and understand dolphin behavior.  The trainers will learn how to use positive reinforcement to teach dolphins new behaviors.  Using hand cues you will experience the happiness of communicating with the dolphins. Dolphins teach us so much what a great way to spend a last minute vacation getaway. You will know by the end of the day what a day is like for a dolphin trainer.
