Swim with dolphins
 
 




Step 1 of 4 - Program Selection
Welcome to the Dolphin Research Center's On-Line Reservations.
Please check one or more of the following programs and select ‘Make a Reservation’ to continue.

Dolphin Encounter
Always a favorite, our Dolphin Encounter program now offers two options, a deep water or shallow water experience! Enter the exciting world of the dolphins, participating in a playful, structured, interactive program. During a workshop, the trainer will explain what to expect and also show you basic hand signals so that YOU can ask the dolphins for a variety of interactive behaviors during your session.
For safety reasons, if it is determined that your command of the English language is not to our standards, you may be directed towards the shallow water encounter. Both programs enjoy the same amount of in-water time with the dolphins.

Dolphin Dip

Plunge into fun with the new Dolphin Dip program. Step down onto the submerged platform and greet your new gray-faced friend with a backrub and a flippershake. Dance, spin, splash – then watch the dolphin imitate you! Learn to give signals like a trainer and applaud the dolphin’s amazing athletic behavior.


Trainer for a Day
In Trainer for a Day, one of our experienced Animal Care and Training staff members teaches you about animal training techniques and how we use them with the DRC pod. You'll be paired with a trainer throughout the day-long journey. Amongst other activities, you will participate in a Deep Water Dolphin Encounter with your new friends, experiencing them in their own element.

Researcher for a Day
Delve into the fascinating world of marine mammal science with Dolphin Research Center's exciting new Researcher for a Day program. Spend the day as part of the research team, getting an inside look at current research studies. After an action packed day you will participate in a Dolphin Dip and a playtime session!
