You many know that Nagez avec les Dauphin is the way you would say Swim with the Dolphins in French. We had a chance to film Sandy, who is French and had a great time doing it.

Click on the video…

Maybe we can get Sandy write a comment in French of how her day was with the dolphins. How do you like the video?

You might want to read this story from MSNBC about dolphins being the 2nd smartest animals on the planet. The article starts with…

When human measures for intelligence are applied to other species, dolphins come in just behind humans in brainpower, according to new research. Dolphins demonstrate skills and awareness previously thought to be present only in humans. < Read More >

After you read this story, what do you think? Are dolphins # Two? I would like to get your feed back.

One our friends sent us this Youtube Video where you get to see dolphin swimming upclose with meditative music. If you love seeing dolphins in all their splendor, then you will enjoy this video.

This video is called MEDWYN GOODALL – Dolphin Companion (Music for Relaxation & Meditation). It will definitely help you relax. Enjoy.

These photos came from one of our Dolphin World Blog readers. I really love when we get these.  This is what Susie had to say about the photos.

“They were taken when I went on a 30 minute boat ride from Redondo
Beach, California on 12/20/09.  The trip wasn’t specifically intended
to be dolphin watching or anything like that, but we came across a
whole pod of dolphins so we watched them swim around the boat and they came very close.  I had never seen so many dolphins that close before and it was an incredible experience.”

Thanks Susie for the photos. I love seeing wild dolphins swimming around.

I hope others send in their dolphins photos to us.
Happy New Year.

We had the pleasure of picking up Jeannette and Rick at the Best Western Oceanside in Fort Lauderdale. They were taking a Caribbean Cruise but spent a few days extra in Fort Lauderdale and got a chance to swim with the dolphin in Miami.

Jeannette told us that she had an amazing day with the dolphins. Hopefully after she and Rick see these photos, they can put in their own words the experience they had.

Wet and Happy

Merry Christmas,

We had a interesting young women, Catherine, from Ecuador that had a great day with the dolphins. Here we have a quick shutter photos of her doing the dorsal fin ride which is one of the behaviors everyone gets with the Dolphin Swim program.

Catherine, please take a moment and write about your experience in this blog. We all want to know how was your swimming with the dolphins in Miami?

The swimming with the dolphin in Oahu location has come out with its rates for 2010. The rates have gone up slightly but the new rates do include Free Round Trip Transportation from selected Waikiki Hotels, which is a good thing.  < Click to See Rates >

Hawaii is probably the prettiest location we offer.  I love this park. This park is situated on the side of a volcanic mountain overlooking the North Coast and Ocean, really breath taking. I took my wife here on our Honeymoon and she had a blast there.

Also, the Hawaii location offer the Sea Trek which is where you wear a dive bell and go into a huge aquarium filled with all kinds of tropical fish, different rays, sea turtles, and small sharks.  My wife really loved this since she is not the most adventurous person but got the ocean/scuba diving experience and felt pretty safe. Two dive instructors go into the water with us to ensure safety.

Seeing the Dolphins Upclose

Highly Recommend the Sea Trek

North Shore Oahu - What a Location!

We did the Royal Dolphin Swim and Sea Trek combo. I highly recommend it.

Has anyone been to Oahu and have some travel tidbits to share? How to get around? Saving a little money?

When bringing people to swim with the dolphins, the biggest thing people talk about is what a dolphin feel like.  Many say the dolphin skin feels like rubber, some say it feels like a hard boiled egg, and some say it feels like wet leather.

I am curious what you thought the skin would feel like before you entered the water with the dolphins and what it actually felt like to you?

It would be interesting to see what you say.
God Bless,
John
