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.
