Dolphins
If you have ever wanted the opportunity to swim and interact with dolphins, visit Dolphin Cove at Half Moon resort. At Dolphin Cove, participants get to talk to the trainers that work with the dolphins, and learn about dolphin behavior. Then they get to don life jackets and actually interact with the dolphins. The resort offers a variety of experiences, ranging from the "beach encounter" which consists of participants standing in waist deep water to touch the dolphins, all the way to the ultimate "trainer for a day" experience. The trainer for a day experience allows participants to follow a dolphin trainer and swim with the dolphins, help prepare the dolphin's food and all of the other chores that Dolphin Cove's trainers do on an average day.
