Majority of staff was miserable. We could not find which platform we needed to be on and when we would ask we would get snarly remarks and one woman in the photo area even yelled at us and then said we were idiots to a fellow co worker.....and then wanted a tip - HAHA

Here we are, in our upper 50s, and we just loved the experience. How many times in your life is something just pure joy?! It's also great to see Jamaicans develop a quality venue that can sustain and build. We always like to pump honest money into local economies - this is a good choice.

First it was raining however my family and I never let a little rain bother us when were on vacation. The dolphin show was the only positive experience about this "hot spot". The beach was no where to be seen and the area was filled with trash and just really seemed unkept. KEEP YOUR MONEY ON THIS ONE!!!!

There is alot of walking. You can swim with the dolphin, sting rays or a shark. I sure did like seeing the worker there swimming with the shark and feeding them. Also you can put a shark on your lap. I also did enjoy swimming with all three of them. They even had a cook out so you can have... More

The first thin you will notice is that it is pricey - but it's completely worth it. Amazing experience and certainly something you should do in your lifetime. We went for the ultimate swim with 2 dolphins which seemed to be a lot better, and worth the extra money. The trainers and excellent and friendly. Just do it!

Greatest experience by far. Husband is a paraplegic and got to do everything there, the workers were wonderful with helping him do everything there. Well worth the money just want to thank the guys who helped my husband it was an experience we will never for get.

Loved it all amazing place, if you book through the hotel do the early trip as last pick up is 3pm and you won't get to do everything there. Great day out

This was my first dolphin experience and it was tremendous. I purchased this excursion at my resort and they were having a promotion. Without the promotion it would've been really expensive, might not have been worth it at reg. price. My boyfriend and I swam with one dolphin (named Nina) for approx. $116 USD, reg. price was $150-$170ish USD. The... More
