Swim with dolphins on your vacation

The dolphin is a species of very high intelligence. Some people think they're even smarter than humans! But let's leave this debate to scientists. One thing that is certain is that dolphins enjoy contact with humans and humans enjoy contact with dolphins. While in Florida, you can swim or dolphin on a special flight to the Florida Keys.

If you live in Orlando, you can plan a two-day trip departing from Orlando. If you are a good swimmer and you feel good in the water above your head, try the Dolphin Swim Tour of Florida Dolphin Tours. They make two-day trips where their contact with dolphins is guaranteed.

That is how it works. It is a two-day and one-night excursion and transportation to and from the keys is included in the tour. Pickup is scheduled for some of the major hotels and motels in the Orlando metropolitan area.

Your dolphin swim will take place on the first afternoon of the trip or the next morning. The dolphin swim takes place in a seawater lagoon that is 15 meters deep. A flotation vest should be worn while swimming, no matter how good a swimmer you are.

The program lasts about two hours and begins with an educational information session about the general nature of the dolphins, as well as information about the dolphins that you especially know.

After the briefing, two people come in the water at the same time with two trained dolphins, and generally dolphins greet you with kisses, handshakes, water fights and similar playful behavior.

The next day, enjoy an adventure ride through the Everglades on a quick airboat ride that puts you in close contact with alligators. After the boat tour, you will see a show dealing with crocodiles and snakes. If you are brave, you can keep a crocodile or some snakes. The tour concludes with a visit to the Bayside Mall in Miami, where you can visit trendy shops and restaurants.

If you are not a swimmer, you can still enjoy a meeting with the friendly dolphins. Florida Dolphin Tours introduced a dolphin meeting program during 2009. This program is similar to dolphin meetings in deeper waters. Two people come into the water and meet two trained dolphins who will greet you with a wide variety of playful greetings. You also learn how to signal dolphins that encourage them to sing and dance! All of this takes place in deep waters at the waist and swimming is not required.
