Fort Lauderdale Vacations

Many people would love to have a chance to swim with a dolphin. If you are coming to the Fort Lauderdale area, this dream can come true!

While in Fort Lauderdale, grab your sunscreen and your swimsuit for an unforgettable Dolphin Experience. Dolphins are gentle and intelligent mammals that enjoy the company of humans. History tells us that they have been known to lead a lost boat to shore and lead rescuers to those in need of rescue. They can also be quite funny. Once you have a chance to swim with and meet them, you will know why dolphins are so well loved.

You can try a single day's adventure, which is perfect for beginners who are just acquiring the spirit of dolphin adventure. There are also two-day minimum workshops available, which feature trained dolphin and sea lion encounters, as well as tropical fish and birds, and even a swim with stingrays.

The three-day Marine Apprentice Workshop is not to be missed if you are either a true dolphin lover or an aspiring handler, as this in depth program will bring you plenty of time with these joyous creatures. To see the difference between tamed and trained dolphins and those in a wide-open ocean environment, there is also a four-day workshop offered, which is truly the ultimate dolphin experience. Depending on the time you have scheduled, you may also have time to enjoy a snorkeling trip or a backcountry ecology tour.

All of these programs are fun and informative and are set up to be completely interactive. This is a great opportunity for you to spend time with family, have a unique honeymoon experience, or simply the best field trip ever if your youngster is interested in marine science. You will learn about the anatomy, intelligence, and communication methods of dolphins, and will have a chance to discuss environmental issues and concerns.

The workshops also include an overview of mammal training methods. These workshops are offered year round, and are great for anyone who wants a change of pace from the ordinary Florida vacation, if a vacation in Florida can ever, truly, be considered ordinary!
