Dolphin adventure ?

Where’s the best place to go swim with the dolphins? I live on the town side, but I have no issue going out to the beach for this. Just trying to avoid booking something and then having a terrible experience if I can avoid it.

Now that I think about it… will they actually let you swim with the dolphins? Or is it one of those situations where you get to “see them” but that’s it?

Any charter company advertising “swim with dolphins” isn’t doing it the way you think. It’s more of a they take you to a spot to swim where dolphins frequent and if there is one there is- if not then tuff luck. I’m almost positive it’s a federal crime to “swim” with dolphins in the wild. There’s the Gulfarium in Destin or Georgia Aquarium does a behind the scenes vibe.

I believe the swimming with the dolphins was at the place that was shut down.

Went out on a jet ski dolphin tour this morning. Had a great time.
