Dolphin Kids Encounter Overview

Little kids always have a fascination with animals, especially with the smiling clowns of the ocean, the dolphins. Children have the rare opportunity to interact with one of our friendly, intelligent, and gentle Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins. Kids come first on this fun-filled activity tour at our expansive state-of-the-art Marine Mammal compound in Nuevo Vallarta just north of Puerto Vallarta. Kids from four to eight years old can enjoy this dolphin encounter designed just for them.

On this fantastic tour, which our dolphin experts designed especially for the entertainment of smaller children, starts with an preparatory session poolside, where the children will be slowly introduced to the environment and become familiarized and educated about the dolphins before entering the shallow water encounter platform. After the orientation session, the kids will be delighted at the opportunity to interact with these remarkable bright, playful, and tender cetaceans. Your children can even touch and pet the dolphins in an extremely safe and controlled environment. We usually have our kinds encounter in our maternity pool, where we observe newborns with their mothers.

We are always delighted with the expressions of wonder that appears on the faces of the kids as they engage with these amazing creatures. This encounter with a live dolphin will spark their imaginations and create a lasting memory of their vacation in Puerto Vallarta with their family. It is never too early to introduce children to the marvels of the natural world. This is an excellent way to create an interest in marine biology and the natural sciences.
