Q: WHICH SHOULD
I CHOOSE - THE ENCOUNTER OR THE SIGNATURE SWIM?
A: We recommend the encounter only
to those people who are not comfortable in the water or for small kids.
Everyone else should choose the royal swim or signature - it's well
worth the extra money. The encounter is excellent too, but the
swim is the best. If you have all day, the Trainer for a Day is
an awesome experience that has received glowing reviews. We put
together this at-a-glance table to help make telling the difference
easier for you.

Q: CAN MY
TODDLER OR INFANT SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS?
A: Yes, kids 1 year old and up can
do the Dolphin Encounter at Sea Life Park.
Q: CAN I SNORKEL
WITH WILD DOLPHINS?
A: The closest you'll get to wild
dolphins will be with our Search
for Wild Dolphins tour. However, wild dolphins don't wait
for you to come over and snorkel with them - they swim away. They
are wild, after all. Just seeing them up close is a treat.
You may actually get this opportunity on this tour, but it can never
be guaranteed. If you want to touch and interact with the dolphins, then the activities
above are what you want.
Q: I'M ON
A CRUISE SHIP - DO YOU PICK UP AT THE PIER?
A: No, the cruise ships have contracts
with certain companies who pay big money to be able to pick up at the
pier - that's why the cruise excursions are so much more expensive.
To get to the dolphinarium, just take a taxi from the pier about ten
minutes to the dolphinarium in Nuevo Vallarta.
