Many guests contact us about whether they can pre-book a dolphin experience shore excursion on their own without booking through the cruise line?

The simple answer is ” YES “. The cruise line would prefer that you would book ALL shore excursions with them. If you call the cruise line about shore excursions, they will do try their best to make you, as a cruise customer, nervous to reserve any activities on your own because they make a lot of revenue from the shore excursions.

Here are some things to consider if you make your dolphin reservation on your own.

• If you book directly with us, you will be saving money.
• If you book early, 30 – 60 days, you will get a substantial discount, 10 – 15 % off if you book online and save even more money.
• The savings will help pay for your Taxi or Ground Transportation to the Dolphin Facility and have some extra money in your pocket.

Here are easy instructions to Book Online for Tortola, St Thomas, St Johns, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.

When you get to the final payment check out page of our reservation online system, you need to follow these steps….

I just had an opportunity to visit the Dolphin Facility in Grand Cayman. It was a great time to visit this beautiful Caribbean island and have a chance to swim with dolphin Grand Cayman style. It was a lot of fun and hopefully these photos will tell the story of my experience.

We have not posted a video in a while but recently we had two nice ladies from Europe do the dolphin swim and they received this youtube dolphin video.  They had planned out there summer vacation early and had to include the Swimming with the Dolphins Miami Tour, where we picked them up at their hotel and get this FREE video since they booked online more than 30 days in advance.

Check out the Video, I hope you like it.

The summer is moving along, if you plan to take a Summer Vacation and want to add the dolphin program to your activities, then you need to book something soon.

The exquisite shores of the Grand Cayman Islands makes this tropical paradise a popular vacation hot spot. Whether by cruise ship or plane, going to the Grand Caymans vacation is always a very fun and exciting experience.

One of the highlights are the Grand Cayman Dolphins that is a must do is the dolphin Royal swim. This swim is definitely the right word to use, because the Royal Dolphin Swim Grand Cayman encompasses everything one could hope for in an interaction with dolphins and more.

Specifically, the Royal swim entails a maximum 45 minute swim, that’s 15 minutes more than any other swim offered on the island. It includes interaction time with the dolphins, where you can hug them, kiss them, rub their bellies, and much more. But the highlight of the Royal isn’t the petting and rubbing of these cute, adorable and amazing creatures; its the Dorsal Fin rides and the toe push activities.

These 2 activities together comprise of the main highlights of the Royal swim, and is the reason why people are always wanting more. First off the Dorsal fin ride enlists 2 dolphins swimming beside you, while you are able to hold on to each of their fins while they pull you through the water at impressive speeds. But, if that wasn’t all, the fun doesn’t stop there. the real eye opener is the illustrious and highly coveted toe push activity. This is where two dolphins will simultaneously come beneath your feet and push you up and through the water into the air , and allow you for at least a few seconds to be airborne. Talk about the activity of a lifetime. they really aren’t kidding around with this one.

Its hard to imagine what all of this might look like, but luckily, I found this extremely cool video of an example of a perfect Royal Swim adventure. You have to take a look at this.

As always id love to hear what you guys think about this excellent video, and your ideas of the Royal swim. Did you like the video? Have you ever done a dolphin swim or even a Royal Swim? Would you think of doing one in the future?

Let us know we want to hear your feedback,
Until next time,

The Grand Cayman swim with dolphins program may be on your agenda when coming to this beautiful island but there is so much to do here besides the Dolphin program. Here is a video of things to do while in Grand Cayman and you get a sense of what to do here on the island.

The video missed the famous Turtle farm which is great attraction but it does get a sense of the island activities. Do you have any other suggestions of activities and food on the island?
