Leaving Orlando behind you will be transported to Key Largo, where you will check into your room at the Bayside Resort, complete with private beach, ocean views and swimming pool. Your evening is at leisure to relax and explore as you choose.
The Swim with the Dolphins experience will be on the first afternoon or second morning - subject to availability. This is your chance to interact one-on-one with these magnificent creatures. The swim is in a natural ocean water lagoon (approx. 15 feet deep), and a flotation vest is provided (mandatory for all participants).
The dolphin encounter takes place at Dolphin Plus, a marine mammal research and education facility which is Key Largo's original swim with the dolphins program. Dolphins Plus is committed to the conservation and protection of marine mammals through education, research, experiential learning and environmental awareness.
The Swim with the Dolphins experience lasts approx. 1.5 hours which includes an educational briefing where you will learn about dolphins in general, as well as about the individual dolphins you will swim with. The interaction time lasts about 20 minutes. 2 people enter the water with 2 trained dolphins at a time, where you can expect foot pushes, dorsal tows, water fights, kisses and handshakes and other common behaviors.
Also included on your overnight tour is the wildest airboat ride in Florida. You may come face-to-face with local 'gators so keep your hands inside the boat! 180 and 360 degree spins are the norm on an adventurous Everglades airboat ride. Discover a world of reptiles at an alligator and snake handling show at Everglades Alligator Farm, which will include some great photo opportunities.
