Amazing time swimming with the dolphins! Was lucky enough to see a full view of the dolphins in the water and was able to see them jump out of the water! Had extra time before lunch, so staff were kind enough to find a quiet spot in the ocean for us to swim freely (electronic shark deterrents were set up and we were able to float in our wetsuits) Worth the experience!
