Dolphin Trainer for a Day: Put on a uniform and join the team
Visit the Dolphin Adventure Center in Nuevo Vallarta, where you'll become a member of the training team working closely with Pacific bottlenose dolphins. You'll even get a trainer’s uniform for the day to really be part of the team. Begin by feeding these precious creatures. Follow the lead from the trainers and learn to understand how dolphins communicate with hand signals, whistles and clicks. Also go behind the scenes to see where research is underway to help care for injured and young dolphins.Swim with dolphins and meet sea lions
This dolphin trainer for a day program includes fun time as well. You'll have a chance to swim in the water with dolphins, taking belly rides, getting a foot push, and swimming beside them in a pool.
