Traveller reviews
Our youngest decided at the last minute that he only wanted to watch, and the staff handled it kindly instead of pressuring him... My older daughter swam and came out completely speechless. The show beforehand helped everyone relax before the interaction. It felt clean, organized, and memorable.
The dolphin pushed my daughter gently through the water and she came out speechless.
Our youngest was too shy to swim, but loved watching the show and meeting the dolphins after.
Not something we would do every trip, but as a one-off holiday memory it was brilliant.
This was the most emotional thing we did with our daughter. The trainer explained where she should place her hands, waited until she was ready, and never made her feel rushed. The actual swim wasnt long, but it felt carefully supervised and really special. It is expensive, but for us it became the memory of the holiday.
The staff kept explaining what would happen next, so nobody felt lost.
