Q: WHICH SHOULD I CHOOSE
- THE ENCOUNTER OR THE ROYAL 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 - it's well worth the extra money.
The encounter is excellent too, but the royal 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 - a great thrill for the whole family!
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. 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 water park, just take a taxi from the pier about ten minutes to
the Sea Life Park in Nuevo
Vallarta. Remember, the cruise ship excursions don't include
entrance to the water park, nor do they feature the popular foot-push
activity, where you fly like superman out of the water, with the
dolphins pushing you by your feet so fast that your raise out of the
water. A much better deal!
