Private Dolphin Swim for Groups

Highlights

  • Fully Customizable Private Dolphin Swim for a Group of Up to 6
  • Choose the Type of Dolphin Experience You Want! You Get to Choose from Belly Rides, Foot Pushes, Dolphin Kisses, and All the Fun and Unforgettable Interactions with Our Friendly Bottlenose Dolphins 

Tour Summary

You and up to 5 of your guests can experience a dolphin program that will become the highlight of your Puerto Vallarta vacation. With our Private Dolphin Swim for Groups, up to 6 people can experience a dolphin swim with the advantage of having the dolphins pay full attention to just you and your group! This fully customizable program gives you several options of how to interact with our intelligent and friendly dolphins.

Do you want to do a belly ride? Or perhaps someone in the group would prefer a foot push? You tell our professional trainers what kind of interaction you want with the dolphins and they will do everything they can to make it happen.

May I bring a camera or video camera to take pictures?

Cameras are not allowed into the pools or observation areas for your safety, for the dolphins safety and the safety of the equipment but professional photos will be available for purchase after your experience.

Can I wear Sunscreen? (SPF)

While we recommend you wear sunscreen, it must be biodegradable for the protection of our dolphins and sea lions. Any other sunscreen must be showered off before entering the dolphin area. Our gift shops sell biodegradable sunscreen.

Can I wear jewelry?

We recommend you remove all jewelry, including wedding rings, ear rings, and piercings, before coming to the dolphin center. Although we provide an area to secure your personal belongings, it is easy to drop, lose or misplace, so we recommend you to leave jewelry and small items secured in your accommodation’s safe or front desk safe.

Why do you limit the number of sessions for people to interact with dolphins?

At Dolphin Adventure the animals' health and welfare are of primary importance.  The sessions are limited to ensure an enjoyable schedule including a variety of activities for the dolphins. The dolphins spend only a combined total of less than two hours each day voluntarily interacting with the public. The rest of the day is allocated to the dolphins' private time, valuable training time, as well as play and social interaction. 

How safe are Interactive Programs?

In-water-interactive programs have a remarkable, well-established record of dolphin and human safety. The health and safety records of these innovative programs have been studied, analyzed, and restudied for over 20 years, each time reaffirming their exemplary achievements.

Can I do any of the dolphin programs if I am pregnant?

For your personal safety and the wellbeing of your unborn child we do not allow pregnant women to participate in our dolphin and sea lion programs. 

Can special needs visitors participate in your dolphin programs?

We will assess your request and decide on the best option for your comfort and security in a group setting. Our dolphins gladly interact with all of our visitors, no matter their sex, appearance, or abilities.

I have been to the Bahamas many times, but Private Dolphin Swim for Groups is one of my favorite trips! It includes everything that everyone should do here. As a Bahamas veteran, I can say only the best about this experience!

Thanks to the professional guides! I was a bit worried about kayaking because I had never done it before, but the instructions were great and I had such a good time!
