Get there early. We go about 7.30am. You then get breakfast and a time for the dolphin swim. They provide everything inc sun cream, shower gel, towels etc. All drinks, food and snacks are included. Don't wear any jewellery as its not allowed in the dolphin pool and water shoes will protect your feet as its quite rough underfoot in the dolphin pool.

Get there early, you will get a good dolphin swim time and make the most of the day. It goes so fast! Was our daughters favourite day of the holiday when we went a few years ago. Enjoy 😊

Can you bring your own camera/video with you?

Yes we took a simple underwater camera and got some great shots in the pools with all the fish. Could not take the camera in with the swim with the dolphins.
Agree get there early and start with breakfast! We enjoyed the pool with all the rays and other fish in. Spent most time in there snorkelling around.
We took a full face snorkel for our daughter, makes it much easier to breathe and she loved it!

We haven’t been to DC since DD was 6, she doesn’t remember the dolphin swim, although DScwhomwas 8 still remembers it as one of her s fav days in the last 8 trips! seriously considering it for trip in May just before her 18th as a surprise!

Oh yes do it! If we could afford to add it to this trip we so would for our DD’s 16th!

Does anyone no the prices of the photo packages

[Eeyore-x]

Hi, going back a couple of years so may have changed, there's different options depending on what you want but we got about 5 or 6 photos, 2 keyrings and a disc with all photos and videos for around $125. It is well worth it though especially if you are doing the dolphin swim. I would suggest getting the swim booked during the morning as an afternoon storm set ours back a few hours.

We went last summer and would also advise getting there early. We bought the digital photo package and I think it was $149. Ouch, but for the 4 of us I do actually think the swim with dolphins was a true once in a lifetime...they take lots of posed shots both individual and as a group standing on the shoreline and also there is the shot of you being pulled along by the dolphins. So I guess we got around 20 photos for that price.
