i did this twice and loved it. When i went they taught us some stuff about dolphins and they showed us signs to show the dolphin and the dolphin responded. The first time i went they also let us go into the deeper water and the dolhins pulled us bck to the shallower area, they were incredibly powerful. Hope you enjoy it .

I went swimming with dolphins with my family this christmas, on christmas day! It was amazing. I think what you do depends on your trainer and the mood of the dolphin.

When we went we got to give the dolphin back and bely rubs, as well as feed him a couple of fish! We also gave him a kiss, which was photographed and all the time you are being filmed by a proffessional. however the photos and video do cost quite alot and you cannot take your own underwater camera into the dolphin pool.

It is however worth getting the pics and video because for most people this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and the photos that were taken of us we were pleased with.

As well as the above we also got to take a ride back to the shore by holding the dorsal fin and flipper. As well as make the motions to make the dolphins make funny noises and clap etc.

Not to mention the jumps and dives they do at the end of the dolphin experience. I enjoyed it so much. I didn't like swimming with the rays though because they freaked me out.

The lazy river there was flowing with warm water, almost like a bath. You can also feed birds in discovery cove within the aviary.

We were there on Christmas day Diddyidodo. It was so cold wasn't it but we really enjoyed the dolphin swim. What time was yours? ours was 9:30 just before it started throwing it down.
