Dolphin Swim and Everglades Adventure
Enjoy two great experiences on this one day adventure to South Florida. Experience one of the wildest airboat rides in the sunshine state and view the beautiful Everglades and then enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime ONE on One dolphin swim!
After an early morning departure from Orlando travel the amazing Florida Everglades National Park where you jump aboard an airboat for an exciting cruise through the wetlands in search of local wildlife including alligators and turtles. This thrilling wind-in-your-hair ride reaches speeds of up to 30 miles per hour across the “river of grass”. Afterwards get up close and personal at our Alligator and Snake handling show where you get the chance to learn, hold, feel, and get your pictures taken with these amazing animals.
From the Everglades it is just a short trip to the beautiful Florida Keys where the memorable Dolphin Swim takes place. On arrival at the Keys, enjoy a poolside lunch and time to take in the picturesque setting before heading to the dolphin facility. Upon entering the facility you will receive an educational briefing to learn about dolphins in general as well as the incredible mammals you will be swimming with. Then it’s time to get your swimsuits on and enter the water! Unlike other dolphin swim programmes that limit the interaction to a shallow water encounter, this dolphin swim experience takes place in a natural ocean water lagoon that is around 15 feet deep. During your ONE on ONE dolphin swim you get to experience a whole host of behaviors including dorsal tow pulls, belly rubs, toe pushes, handshakes, and the best of all a dolphin kiss! Remember dolphin interaction is guaranteed on this unbelievable ONE on ONE swim.
This is a long day, but a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a hotel pick-up included?
All tours run from central location points (unless otherwise stated), and you will need to make your own way to one of these. This is a change to arrangements from previous years, but has been implemented to save you time sitting on a coach that calls at each hotel in Orlando – that’s a lot of hotels! The result is a much more fluid and punctual tour that will add to your enjoyment of the day.
Where will my tour depart from?
The pick-up locations are arranged so that you do not need to travel too far to your nearest point. The actual location will be given at the time of booking when you advise us of your hotel.
In the event that you do not have your hotel information available at the time of booking, you will be advised of your pick-up point when you call to reconfirm your tour in resort.
How do we confirm a date for the tour?
All dates can be booked in advance through Attraction Tickets Direct. Should you wish to leave the date open, no problem, just call the tour provider once you arrive in Florida. To avoid disappointment we recommend booking a date before you travel, particularly for Manatees, Dolphins and Basketball. For Disney VIP meals, you must book a date in advance.
