You could do just about anything on the island of Islamorada in the Florida Keys and it would be pretty special and memorable. But swimming with dolphins… that’s nothing short of a dream come true.

Swimming with dolphins in the Keys

should be on everyone’s bucket list. There’s

something absolutely magical about an up-close-and-personal

encounter with such an intelligent creature.

The F lorida Keys

ave you ever dreamed of what it would be like to swim along-side a bottlenose dolphin in their natural habitat? Imagine you and your new pal gliding

through the warm waters of the lagoon together, swimming in circles around one another. And when you reach out and touch his flipper, you’d have a moment of disbelief. Could this actually be happening or are you dreaming?

H For some it may only ever be a dream, but for those who visit Theater of the Sea in the Florida Keys, that dream can become a reality.

Swimming with Dolphins in the KeysIn our estimation, swimming with dolphins in the Keys should be on everyone’s bucket list. There is something absolutely magical about an up-close-and-personal encounter with such an intelligent creature. It’s no wonder dolphins have

mesmerized human beings with their playful and friendly antics over the years.The great thing about Theater of the Sea is that it offers various programs to match the needs of the individual, no matter their age or swimming ability. Whether you’re 6 or 96, you’re sure to find a dolphin encounter that’s just right for you.

Some of the dolphin programs offered at Theater of the Sea are:

Meet the DolphinsThis is the perfect interaction for very young visitors or for those who aren’t comfortable in the water. From a floating dock you will have theopportunity to touch and interact with the dolphins while a trainer guides the dolphins through a series of tricks. You’ll be able to get a kiss from your new friend and watch as they retrieve their toys located all around the lagoon.

Dolphin Encounter ProgramThis program is appropriate for kids as young as 3 and up to age 7 with a parent or guardianparticipation. Because this program only includes wading in shallow water, this is also great for any senior citizens who are not comfortable with a full swim encounter.You’ll get some memorable one-on-one time with your new pals. You may get a chance to hug and kiss a dolphin, rub their belly, and of course take many selfies of you and your new BFFtogether for your Facebook page.

Swim with Dolphins ProgramThis is the one you’ve been waiting for - the program that makes your dream come entirely true. The ‘swim with dolphins’ program provides you with a rare opportunity to experience a magical animal in its own habitat.

You must be a good swimmer for this program, as sections of the lagoon are 20 feet deep. You should also be comfortable swimming with a snorkel so you can dive underwater side-by-side with the dolphins – a thrill you will never forget. Not only will you get to swim with dolphins, but you’ll also get to participate in getting them to do some tricks, and also experience a dorsal tow and foot push. You’ll feel like you’re flying through the water!

Whichever program you choose, you and your loved ones are sure to make memories that last a lifetime.

Theater of the SeaTheater of the Sea is special for many different reasons. Because of its proximity to Miami and Key West (it’s a1 and ½ hour drive from Miami and a 2-hour drive from Key West), it makes theperfect day trip for visitors to those famous destinations. Something else that sets this wild life park apart is its attention to detail. The landscaping is lush and beautiful, and the minute you step footinside the park, you feel l ike you’ve beentransported to a tropical paradise. And maybe you have!Also, Theater of the Sea is smaller than other sea life parks, and because of this, it has a more intimate and personal feel to it. The quaint size also lets you see everything you want to see in a single day, and your little ones don’t get tired having to walk as far to all of the different shows and attractions. You could do just about anything on the island of Islamorada in the Florida Keys and it would be pretty special and memorable. But swimming with dolphins… that’s nothing short of a dream come true.
