Reviews

Really enjoyed the dolphin swim. Garrafon was okay. Not as exciting as I had thought and the snorkeling was non existent. I would recommend the dolphin swim and then go into town and see north beach Score: 5 stars Recommended: YES from Salt Lake City
This was an outing I thoroughly enjoyed with my daughter and grandchildren. The looks of joy on their faces was worth everything. Thank you!! Score: 5 stars Recommended: YES from Wichita,Ks
realmente disfrutamos nadar con los delfines, fue la mejor parte Score: 4 stars Recommended: YES from Pennsylvania
We thought that we got to swim with the dolphins privately... not in a large group. Wish we could have spent more time with the dolphins alone. Score: 5 stars Recommended: YES from Vancouver, WA.
