If you are lucky enough to reserve a swim with the dolphins, you will be separated from those participating in the Encounters and brought to the swim area for a briefing on what to expect during the program. You will then enter the water where you will actually swim and play with the dolphins for 30 minutes with a small group of people. Kissing, hugging, and dancing are all part of the activities you will enjoy with your new pals. You will even be able to feed them.

Non-participants may observe those in their party who are swimming with the dolphins. The only cost to them is $20.00 for the ferry from Paradise Island to Blue Lagoon. This is payable directly to the ferry and no reservations are needed for observers.

We so enjoyed our dolphin excursion. My daughter did the "swim with the dolphins" and my son and I did the "close encounter". We all absolutely loved it! I was afraid that the encounter might be a little boring, but it WASN'T. The dolphins are so sweet. When they hug you and put their head on your shoulder it is just amazing. Thank you for arranging this for us, it was fabulous!

WOW! What a great time! My son and daughter had a 'Close Encounter' with Shawn, one of the dolphins, at Blue Lagoon and my wife and I went along as observers, taking many pictures and videos. It was a great experience for all of us and one that we'll never forget! We are already planning our next visit, but next time we are ALL going to experience Close Encounter's and maybe even a swim. Thanks so much for your assistance!

Our ShoreTrips were great! This trip was definately worth the price! We had no problem finding where we needed to be as your directions on the voucher were very clear. Everyone at the dolphin facility was extremely knowledgeable and a lot of fun too! Our family enjoyed the "Swim with the Dolphins" VERY much. This was an amazing experience and we have the video to keep the memory forever!! Everything was perfect! My family and I would like to 'thank you' again for helping us arrange this trip. Although I had waited so long to make the reservation, you guys came through for us. ShoreTrips RULE!! We will be using you again in the future!

Our swim with the dolphins was great! I am so happy that I found your website! My friends could not believe that I was able to get the reservation at such last minute since they told me that the "swim" sells out months in advance. Our guide was outstanding, the facility was great, and the boat ride was lots of fun! I will definitely recommend your Web Site to others and when I go to New Orleans in November I will book another trip with you. Thanks for checking in on the service; You do a GREAT job!!

Just thought I'd let you know that the Dolphin Swim was fabulous - the people were great and the experience was something to remember for all of our lives. My 14 yr old son was thrilled! Initially I was closed out of the Disney dolphin excursion UNTIL All Seasons referred me to you--with you, I had no problem booking and also learned that the Disney excursion was only the "encounter," and not a real "swim" with the dolphins. I was lucky to have found you. Thank you very much!

We loved our trip! The staff and dolphins were excellent. Our friends enjoyed the video and are now excited about a trip. Some friends commented that the price was excessive. After being there-- it was MORE than worth it to us.

We had a great time in Nassau doing the swim with the dolphins. It was such a natural surrounding that it made the whole atmosphere more exciting. The staff was funny and knowledgeable and the facility was clean. The pictures they took were great! I would definitley recommend this experience to young and old. We will go back again for sure. I've already recommended your company to people since you were so accommodating.
