$750 per person | Full Day
Experience a day in the life of a dolphin trainer with this immersive program. Enjoy hands-on interactions, assist in training sessions, and learn about dolphin care while exploring behind-the-scenes facilities. Each day offers unique activities, ensuring a memorable adventure filled with fun and learning alongside these incredible marine mammals.
Ever wonder what it takes to work as a dolphin trainer? Your full-day experience will blend interactions with the dolphins with a behind-the-scenes look at all aspects of caring for dolphins.
During this experience, you will be paired with one of our passionate dolphin trainers for the day, starting with a private tour of our headquarters and animal care facilities. Following your tour, you'll spend the day assisting with training sessions, observing routine veterinary procedures, helping clean dishes and equipment, learning about dolphins and training methods, and of course interacting directly with our resident dolphins. No trainer experience would be complete without playing with the dolphins during a private enrichment session.
This program is our most-immersive experience. Due to the variability built into each day's schedule, no two Trainer Experiences will be the same.
