Dolphin Swim Adventure

About Dolphin Swim Adventure

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 small St. Kitts group tour is a fun opportunity for the entire family to enjoy up-close and personal interactions with these fascinating creatures, swimming and playing with them in their natural habitat.

After a 30-minute orientation with your knowledgeable guide, take a swim adventure in the pristine Caribbean waters and frolic with the dolphins. Pet them and enjoy specially designed activities with these good-natured marine creatures that are both safe and fun. During this St. Kitts tour you will have an opportunity to get a kiss and snuggle, see the acrobatic dolphins perform aerial tricks, and finish up with a ride on a boogie board as you experience the delight of being pushed through the water at a dolphin's pace. You can also slide up onto a dolphin's belly and hold onto its fins as it quickly glides backwards across the crystal blue water of St. Kitt's. This is a tour that really showcases the skillful tricks and playful games of the dolphins. 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 of St. Kitts.

Please Note: Your time with the dolphins will last approximately 60 minutes. You will have up to 2 hours of free time at the end of your dolphin swim adventure to shower, review photos, and relax before taking a taxi back to your ship. 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.
