My friend and I booked to swim with the dolphins and when we finished we both agreed that this was a depressing experience. The dolphins are in a small area where there isn't much room for them. We had a 38yr old dolphin who they said was basically a grandma, and you could tell. She obviously didn't want to be... more

I had always loved to experience these encounters with my children until I learned how these Marine Centers acquire their dolphins. During the annual dolphin slaughter in Japan, trainers from Marine Centers in the Carribean, Central and South America choose dolphins they want to purchase.

They take you to a small pool that had two dolphins in it. Our Dolphins name was Katrina. She seemed to be... more

We just spend a fantastic week in Puerto Vallarta. One of our highlights was the Dolphin Swim in Nuevo Vallarta. Very well organized and very well put together. Took our two children-ages 5 and 8 and they were beyond thrilled. We would highly recommend this to anyone who loves dolphins or would like an experience like this. more

Did the Dolphin Swim, February 2006. Had a wonderful time! We arrived at the Dolphin Adventure office and had some time to wander around a bit.

First, we listend to an educational... more

We recently went on vacation to Puerto Vallarta and had heard amazing reports from friends of a fantastic dolphin program there which we were eager for our children to participate in. Unfortunately for us, we chose the wrong one. We took our kids to the Sea Life Park in Nuevo Vallarta thinking it was the only dolphin facility in and... more
