It's truly special to truly interact with the dolphins. You get to do a few tricks, and some photos are taken, after which you can actually swim with the dolphins and join them underwater.

We went twice because it was so cool! You simply have to do this once! You can buy all the photos taken for $10 per piece or all the photos on a USB stick for $35.

Swimming with dolphins is well organized! It's touristy, but I thought it was definitely worth it!
