We wrote this informative article about Cruise Ship Shore excursions. Many of you want to swim with the dolphins on your shore excursion, which is possible in many locations. We sell the dolphin shore excursion from Cozumel, Nassau, Puerto Vallarta, Oahu, Tortola-BVI, and Grand Caymen. Also, we offer a pre and post cruise excursion from Fort Lauderdale / Port Everglades and Port of Miami.

There are many shore excursions to choose from and some are easy to purchase on the ship but when it comes to the dolphin swim it is a different story. This program you need to purchase with the cruise ship very early via their website or with Dolphin World website before you start your cruise.

This story starts with….

Within the realm of Florida lie many different exotic and unique cruise lines each demonstrating their capacity to entertain and to transport their passengers in the very best style. Some of the most well known cruise lines are the Carnival, Microsoft office 2010, Celebrity Cruise lines, the Cunard, The Disney Cruise line, Holland America, Norwegian Cruise lines, Oceania Cruises, Princess, and of course the Royal Caribbean. Each cruise ship has a certain course and heading that takes it through different domains at differing intervals. < Read More >

You many want to read this story before you take your cruise through the Caribbean, Hawaii or Mexico.

If you have taken a cruise, what has been your favorite shore excursion and why?

I’m glad to tell you that all the Dolphin programs at Grand Cayman includes entrance to the Boatswain’s Turtle Farm.

Free Turtle Farm admission for all swim with the dolphin in Grand Cayman programs’ participants

The entrance for the Turtle Farm is totally free for dolphin program participants, and if you want to enjoy the rest of Boatswain’s park you will just need to pay a $20 upgrade.  Seize your day at one of the Caribbean must-see places, it is worth it!

Boatswain’s Beach Adventure Park hosts the famous Turtle Farm, one of Grand Cayman’s greatest tourist attractions known around the world for its conservation programs, public awareness and entertainment. The Park also offers other incredible adventures like snorkeling to discover a fascinating and colorful marine life, an impressive predator tank for a close and safe encounter with sharks and eels, and an aviary of endemic bird species flying freely in their natural habitat.

The Turtle Farm is located in the West Bay District of Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. To be more accurate is exactly in front of the dolphinarium just crossing the street, about 30 meters. The park’s address is 825 Northwest Point Road which is about 8 miles from George Town.

I am sure many of you have seen these videos of a group of swimming dolphins in Orlando that blow bubbles while moving around the aquarium. I have read they are teaching each other this behavior. Is this true? Can anyone out there add to this fact or fiction?

Here is the video to prove this:

Should you feed wild dolphins or any wild animals? Most times when I am out in nature, I see people feeding wild animals a lot, birds, racoons, fishes, dogs, and cats. So we are pretty conditioned as people to feed animals and not feeding them is really hard for people to do. If this is you, please read this article from NOAA about feeding wild Dolphins, especially if you live in Florida or the Carolina’s. Please read this….

“Just stop feeding me!” says an animated dolphin in a new public service announcement released today that highlights the dangers of dolphins getting hooked on human handouts. The PSA was produced by a coalition of government agencies and private organizations. < Read More>

Do you feed wild dolphins and do you feed them? Do you think it is OK to feed Wild Dolphins, why? I would like to hear both sides to this issue.

I thought this was interesting. I read that the Georgia Aquarium is going to build a Dolphin facility for encounters, shows and education. Here is the post I saw:

Georgia Aquarium in downtown Atlanta is adding a $110-million dolphin exhibit that will open by the end of 2010. The additional 84,000 square feet of space and 1.3-million-gallon exhibit will include dolphin encounters, viewing windows and dolphin shows.

Pretty interesting. I don’t know where they will be getting their dolphins from because it is very difficult for US companies to acquire dolphins. It will be interesting to see how this project develops.

How do you feel about a new dolphin facility in Georgia?

John

Up to this point, we did not have just the Dolphin Swim program in Puerto Plata. The dolphin swim was always combined with other programs, sea lions, sharks, and sting rays. As of this week, we have added the Swimmming the Dolphins Puerto Plata. You still get the pick up service from your hotel and all the other amenities, like the dolphin and sea lion shows, snorkeling in the aquarium, and free beach and tiger pool. A great day while in Puerto Plata Dominican Republic.

Grand Cayaman has added a shallow water program for all ages to enjoy, for 1 year old and up. This shallow water experience lets you learn about the dolphin in a non-swimming environment.

The program in Grand Cayman is called the Dolphin Lover “Shallow Water Encounter” Program. <<< Click here to learn more.

This program would be perfect for Cruise Ship passengers coming to this beautiful island.
