You can swim with dolphins! One of the few animal friendly dolphin swims in the Caribbean! The Dolphin Academy has dolphins in a natural ocean water “pool”, the natural "pools" are in the open ocean closed off with rocks, the dolphins are taken to the open ocean water every day and follow the academy’s boat, since most were either rescued or born in captivity. They only offer a limited amount of shows and encounters as to not tire out the dolphins. They also contribute greatly to marine research and offer dolphin therapy for autistic kids. Voted one of the Caribbean’s most ethical ways to experience these mammals up close.
