swimming with dolphins

Started January 21, 2003 · 2,951 views · 3 posts
Last year I did the swimming with dolphins as well, by Vallarta Adventures. Did not know that it was possible at Splash as well. Costs about 130 US, for 40 minutes. Really enjoyed it at that time, but recently saw a doc on NG about dolphins in captivity and got a feeling of being guilty. Will never do it again, that is for sure, although I do think that they treat the dolhins really good there. Problem is, that is not really nature this way..

Went out this year with Open Air Expeditions (vallartawhales.com) to find dolphins in the wild, and altough you could not hang at the dorsalfin of the dolphins, I had a better time without feeling guilty.. It is up to you.

Thanks for the info. It seem most have had a good time with Vallarta Adventure. Would you know by chance how to contact them directly or did you book them through a tour???
