Swim with the Dolphins in Puerto Vallarta

Dolphin Encounter - the experience begins with an informative introduction by dolphin trainers that will help you understand the dolphins' anatomy, physiology, natural history, and fascinating underwater communications. Then, you and a trainer will enter the specially designed educational pool with the dolphins. The 15 minutes of in-water contact time with the dolphins includes petting, belly rubs, kisses, and jumps. After you've learned some training signals and how to feed them, the dolphins will shake your hand and give you a friendly kiss!

Kids Dolphin Adventure - Dolphins are gentle and intelligent marine mammals and Dolphin Kids, the "for kids only" dolphin adventure, gives smaller children the chance to learn about and interact with this family of Pacific bottlenose dolphins in the fun and safe environment of the Vallarta Adventure Dolphin Center.

You'll learn about their unique characteristics, how to use hand signals and positive reinforcement to communicate with your dolphin, and various safety guidelines. Next, you and your group of no more than eight guests will head to the Dolphin Lagoon, where you'll wade into the shallow, clear waters to start your exclusive dolphin swim experience.

Sea Lion Encounter - This hands-on program begins with a poolside introduction, during which you'll get to know the sea lions' physiology, feeding habits, and behaviors. Then, a professional marine mammal trainer will accompany you as you get up close and personal with the sea lions in a specially designed educational pool. Fast, agile, and adorable, sea lions are fascinating to watch, and never timid about speaking--or barking--their minds. As these friendly sea lions romp and frolic with you, their barks, honks, and trumpeting sounds will keep you amused, and their intelligence and skill will delight you.
