Swim with Dolphins
Miami Seaquarium Dolphin Encounter
I have always loved dolphins since I was a little girl. I have seen them swimming in seaquariums and in the ocean while on boats. I have always wanted to swim with them. I had a dream come true during my last visit to Florida thanks to the Dolphin Encounter at Miami Seaquarium.
Can you tell by my expression how excited I was?!
When you arrive they give you a towel and a wetsuit. There are lockers you can store your belongings in while you enjoy your encounter.
You sit down and watch a movie that talks about what you should and should not do and also about oceanic conservation.
They then split us up into smaller groups and assigned one trainer and one dolphin to each group. Meet my new friend, Ripley.
Our trainer was so knowledgable and just really good with all of us. And Ripley was the best! It’s an experience I’ll never forget.
The Dolphin Encounter is a part of the Miami Seaquarium. You should totally give yourself time before or after (or both) to check out their shows and exhibits.
I had such a great day!

You look like you had a lot of fun with Ripley, the dolphin. This is something I’ve always wanted to do. My grandkids want to play and swim with dolphins too.
