Dolphin World Blog

Hi All,

I just read about Aquatica, a new water park in Orlando, sounds like a lot of fun. Here is a little write up about it….

Aquatica – The newest water attraction in Orlando has 59 acres across the street from parent Sea World Orlando. Themed to the South Seas, it has macaws and other exotic birds, Commerson’s dolphins and tropical fish, and it offers water, water everywhere

–3.3 million gallons of it in six lagoons, rivers with waterfalls, geysers and more, including two wave pools. To “connect visitors to the sea”, according to Joe Couceiro, vice president of marketing, the park also has a beach measuring more than 83,000 square feet, plus a 15,000 square foot pool with a fort with slides and water cannons.

The centerpiece is an adventure that catapults visitors through 300 feet of clear tubes to a lagoon filled with black and white Commerson’s dolphins. Tickets are $38.95 (adults) and $32.95 (children). Visit www.AquaticaBySeaWorld.com.

This would be a great thing to do after swimming with the dolphins Orlando in Discovery Cove. Has anyone been there yet? Any reviews of Aquatica?

Hi All,

Hi All,
We just sent out our survey for March, 2008. This is what one customer said about their Dolphin Swim Workshop Program in the Key Largo area. I think you may like the comment and photos.

Jessica Taylor from Maryland said the following…..

“Overall, we were very pleased with our Dolphin World Workshop. We thoroughly enjoyed the snorkel outing and found the boat and crew really professional, helpful and enjoyable. They provided excellent recommendations for restaurants, etc.

We loved the Dolphin and sea lion shows at Dolphin World but did not see the other shows because we did not want to spend the whole afternoon there.

We absolutely loved the Dolphin experience and are showing the photos to our friends and family. The dolphin trainers were very professional and cute, seemed to have a real love for the animals, and were great with the adult and child participants alike.

Probably we would like to visit the upper keys again, although we would probably
stay in Islamorada rather than Key Largo. We liked the Key Largo Grande — beautiful rooms, although common areas were under construction and zero cellphone availability in and around the hotel.

For future snorkeling and dolphin adventures, probably Upper Keys, Bimini Bahamas, Mayan Riviera, or Cancun (maybe). My husband dislikes both the Dominican
Republic and Nassau. I have an aversion to Cancun. Miami does not appeal to us. We were favorably impressed with the snorkeling at Pennekamp Reef.

On a past vacation I snorkeled in the Bay Islands of Honduras. Amazing. Would love to go back there, although of course they do not have cellphone coverage!

The Dolphin World Workshop fulfilled a dream we’ve had for many years. It was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. We were thrilled. Just look at our happy faces while playing with the dolphins. Yes, you can be over 50 and still be a kid!”

Thanks Jessica for your comments and photos. She mentioned about the locations that she enjoyed on vacation. Do you agree or disagree about her opinions of these destinations?

Have a great day !!!
God Bless,
John

Hi All,

I thought you would enjoy this Dolphin youtube video I saw. Many of you may have seen it already but for those that haven’t, it is really fun to watch this dolphin play with his own bubble ring.
