The session starts with the guest(s) arriving at the
Habitat pool where they will take a shower and get dressed.
There are mixed and private session. In a private session
only the swimmer who paid for a private session will
be swimming, of course the private session is more expensive
(see Prices). In the mixed session there will be up
to 12 people with the three dolphins taking turns to
be in contact with the dolphins.
The trainer will not be in the pool with the dolphin
so it is not possible nor allowed for children under
the age of 5 or special needs to swim. Although we provide
life vests it is strongly advisable that the participant
know how to swim. Some children are sometimes afraid,
this is a natural response to something so new, that
is why it is advisable to have older children participate.
It is also essential that any swimmers are not ill,
in their cycle and are fit enough for this activity.
(see the rules and conditions)
Upon entering the water the swimmer(s) will have fifteen
minutes of swimming time with a dolphin. There are different
interactions with the dolphin; hugging, touching the
skin, being pulled around the pool by their dorsal fin.
Many people like just being in proximity.
After the lapse of the allocated swimming time the
swimmers will be asked to leave the pool so they can
take a shower, dress and leave the habitat area either
to let the dolphins have their rest or to allow other
swimmers to ready themselves for their session.
There are times when we need to cancel and reschedule
sessions, if it happens we try to schedule the next
best session or will refund your complete fees. If a
participant fails to make his/her session then we are
sorry there are no refunds since that time slot was
reserved specifically for that person.
The swimmer will most certainly enjoy his/her encounter
and will feel refreshed as they will understand that
this experience will last for a lifetime.
