I participated in the winter-only trainer experience. I was so close to the dolphins that I was able to experience the feeling of being able to communicate with them. The staff had a lot of expertise and I learned a lot. I was alone and had an immersive and wonderful time. This is a great experience for animal lovers.

It was a dream come true to be able to swim with the dolphins! At first I was worried that I wouldn't be able to swim well, but the dolphins seemed to cuddle up to me, and in the end I was relieved to feel a sense of oneness. It is a memory that will last a lifetime.
