Great Adventures Around the World | Dolphin Swim Adventures

In my post discussing how great adventures aren’t always found where you’re looking, I mentioned my surprise encounter with bottlenose dolphins in the Florida Keys. It was the great adventure of a lifetime partially because it was so unexpected. But interaction with animals in the wild is often a random and difficult to replicate experience. Enter Dolphin Adventures near beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and similar Dolphin Encounter programs around the world.

Dolphin encounters vary depending on where you go to experience them. Some facilities such as Dolphin Adventure in Mexico are full-blown dolphin research and education facilities and offer extensive experiences. DA features several programs including opportunities for children and adults to interact with these amazing animals. The research center also provides Trainer for a Day programs and a feature you and your children will love… Sea Lion adventures!

Similar experiences closer to home for US based visitors include several offerings in Florida. Dolphins Plus in sunny Key Largo (about an hour south of Miami) offers great experiences and, like Mexico’s Dolphin Adventure, provides and opportunity to interact with those lovable rogues of the sea, sea lions! There are several additional dolphin swim opportunities extending all the way from Orlando to America’s southern-most point, Key West, though the latter takes us into the wild! 

Wild Dolphin Adventure, based in Florida’s Key West, offers wild dolphin swim opportunities. Free from the constraints of enclosures, these charter trips take you out into the Atlantic to swim with wild dolphins in their own habitat. The Dolphin Dream team in the Bahamas will give you a similar experience but rather than a day charter, these trips include a week aboard an 86 foot yacht and swims with playful Atlantic Spotted Dolphins. 

Whether you’re looking for a California, Florida, Mexico or Caribbean adventure, there’s an opportunity out there to interact with these beautiful, playful and curious creatures. Many locations cater to young children but the wild dolphin swims are best suited for swimmers comfortable snorkeling in open water. Be sure to research ahead for the best experience for you and your family and then jump on in! The water’s fine!
