VIP Tour and Dolphin Swim Comment
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009Hi All, Here is a comment one of our customer sent in and I thought I would blog their email. Here is what they wrote.
I wanted to write you to share my thoughts of our tour on March 30, 2009. Brian set it up as a surprise for my upcoming birthday. This experience was far beyond any we’ve ever done before. We had a dolphin swim in Miami and a VIP Tour.
First, let me start by saying our tour guide ‘John’ was great! He was on-time, very courteous, the van was nice and neat and clean. He had snacks and cold refreshments which were definitely appreciated after our long day. He got us to both places on time and walked us to where we had to go. He checked us in and coordinated the pick up time before before leaving.
To share a few details about our experience, I should mention that we have never done anything like this. Our first encounter was with the dolphins. They were amazing, the people there were nice. We learned about the dolphins’ habitats, diets, bodies, ect. It was great to see how well the trainers worked with all the dolphins and together.
We had to wear wetsuits – not such a pretty idea to most, but it was best when in the water with the dolphins. We started out by touching them so we were all comfortable. The swim was amazing, we held onto them and they effortlessly swam us to the other side of the pool area.
A huge PLUS for this experience was the showers provided. The facility was nice and clean. It was sad to see the dolphins encounter end, but well worth it. When we were done, we walked around the aquarium for about a half hour and met John outside.
Our next stop was Jungle Island. We had lunch before starting our VIP Tour, John showed us around the facility and waited for us to finish lunch so he could take us to the tour office. We started out by watching a bird show at the theatre, it was awesome. It was eye opening to see vultures and crows actually trained, and a parrot on a unicycle, WOW!! We found it amazing to see that everyone seemed to honestly really care about each and every animal. They knew them all by names – although to the average person, each species looks exactly alike.
We would like to do this and bring our 3 children with us next time to do the tour. They love animals and we know they will have a total BLAST!!! We would definitely recommend this to EVERYONE!!
Thank you!! And also please thank our guide John on our behalf.
