About Dolphin Royal Swim
Dolphins are known to be highly intelligent and social animals, and they are playful ambassadors to the waters off the island of St. Kitts. This St. Kitts tour lets the entire family get up-close and personal with these fascinating creatures, swimming and playing with the dolphins in their natural habitat. This St. Kitts excursion takes things up a notch, adding a more dynamic and thrilling ride to your activities with these amazing ocean creatures.
After a 30-minute orientation from your knowledgeable guide, take a dolphin royal swim in the pristine Caribbean waters and frolic with the dolphins. Pet them and enjoy specially designed activities with these good-natured marine creatures. They will kiss you and snuggle with you, perform aerial acrobatics, and finish up with their famous foot push, where two dolphins will lift you out of the water in a thrilling flourish. Experience the exhilarating dorsal tow as well, as two dolphins pull you across the crystal waters as you hold on to their dorsal fins.
Watch as the dolphins perform skillful tricks and playful games. Learn interesting facts about the ocean and its most friendly inhabitants from professional trainers who will regale you with fascinating information about these incredible marine mammals.
Please Note: Guests ages 60-79 may participate in all dolphin programs provided they are fully independent, have no medical or mobility limitations, and can swim unassisted. Guests ages 80 and over may participate in the Dolphin Encounter only; other interactive dolphin programs are not permitted.
