About

Includes bottled water

Welcome to a day in dolphin paradise! Become one with our nature! Enjoy a guided dolphin encounter in Key Largo!

We operate in smaller groups of 4-12 passengers in new comfortable Transit vans. Narrated roundtrip transportation is provided by an experienced guide.

The tour has two stops which include:

A delicious Keys lunch at a bayside restaurant in Key Largo and a captive dolphin encounter at the Dolphins Plus Park.

Dolphin encounter trainers are Florida naturalists and marine biologists. There are three types of dolphin encounters guests can choose from:

1.)The Dockside Encounter where you'll be able to interact with the dolphin without getting in the water. 2.)There is the Shallow Water Encounter where you stand in waist high water and interact with the dolphins. 3.)There is the Signature Swim Encounter where you can swim in deeper water with the dolphins and experience more fast paced interactions as in dolphin dorsal tows.

The group will go through an educational briefing then have up to 30 minutes to interact with the dolphins (times may vary depending on dolphins’ behavior and some interactions per person may be limited due to group sizes). After the encounters, guests are treated to a behind-the-scenes walkthrough of the facility.
