THE ADVENTURE
We are seeking out encounters with friendly Atlantic spotted and bottlenose dolphins off Bimini Island, Bahamas. Bimini is famous, not only for their great hammerheads and reef sharks, but also for their VERY friendly spotted dolphins. We will spend three days swimming with Atlantic spotted dolphins and hopefully bottlenose dolphins, which occasionally hang around the dolphin grounds, which is the area we visit when seeking out dolphins.
This adventure is open to all experience levels and is a great adventure for the whole family.
Please Note; These are wild dolphin encounters and everyday is different. Some days, the dolphins may be hard to find and not very social. However, the pod that spends their time here off Bimini are extremely social and often choose to interact with snorkelers and have been known to stay with us for hours.
