Dolphin Encounter

If you are not comfortable swimming, but still want to interact with live Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins, you can join us for this great alternative to a dolphin swim. You can encounter these friendly cetaceans from the safety and security of a shallow-water platform. If you are visiting the sunny resort destination of Puerto Vallarta, you do not want to miss your chance to interact with the charming, brilliant, and playful dolphins at our marine mammal compound on our Dolphin Encounter tour.

Before you step onto the water platform with one of our Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins, we’ll enlighten you about these fascinating aquatic creatures. You will learn about their physiology, habitat, and social interaction. We’ll teach you all about the care and training of these amazing animals. We’ll introduce you to the various training techniques our professional animal trainers employ while interacting with the dolphins. You will learn the hand signals needed to direct the dolphins to perform astonishing tricks.

After your orientation, you head over to the dolphin lagoon with a maximum of seven other participants. This limited number ensures that everyone will have ample one-on-one time with a dolphin. Once you wade into the water of the platform, you can physically touch the smooth skin of a dolphin. They truly enjoy it when folks pet their underbellies. You can even hug and kiss these friendly marine mammals. You can even feed them some fish and instruct them to perform acrobatics in the pool. Encountering these engaging creatures will be the highlight of your Puerto Vallarta vacation.
