    I have to agree, we went in 2003 and had a fantastic day. Would definately do it again. We also booked direct. I would say its definately worth it!

    We went a couple of years ago at Easter and had a brilliant day. My daughter did the Trainer for a Day - a very special experience that she still talks about. I would definately recommend a visit even though it is abit pricey.

    If you look on the website you can call and speak to a customer service advisor and book the tickets direct with them.

    Our kids had a great day but we weren't too impressed with the food. It wasn't as fresh as other places we ate in Florida. I'm guessing we must have caught them on a bad day because normally food is good.

    Hi Terry

    You are in for a very special day. When we went it was a very hot day and were thankful for the sun umbrella, so look for sunbeds with an umbrella with them (some don't have one). We had the best day of our holiday, probably because we were so eager to swim with the doplhins, having heard about other people's experiences. My son and fiancee still have their photo of this day up in their house.

    We had very good food when we went. In fact it was so good we commented on it, as we expected something along the lines of a conveyor belt type meal. It was more like being in a nice restaurant and we can be fussy with food not being cooked properly or presented properly!!

    We booked direct with their website some time before we actually went and received all the details through the post.

    Have a great time and I hope you enjoy yourselves as much as we did. We may be going back again this year, that's how good it was.

    I would say to book direct also,you will love it and we as a family thought that the food was probably the best we had all holiday,which would be enough for us to go back there again alone,wether that says more about the type of places we dined at i leave that to other people[msnwink].BUT we have done the swimming experience in jamaica and have to say that the interaction and actual playing with the dolphins is alot more involved and so we were pretty dissapointed with DC,but as my husband and I conceided,if we hadn't done it in jamaica we probably would have left there very happy with the experience.As stated it's a once in a life time thing for a lot of people and something that deffinatly should be done.

    We weren't sure what to expect when we went last August, but we all agreed it was the most memorable day of our holiday. We enjoyed it from start to finish.
    Although we enjoyed the dolphin swim, the rest of the day was, in our opinion, just as good-so much so that we have booked to go again for a day this August but without the dolphin swim.
    I would book online if you are doing the dolphin swim. I had to ring as you cannot book the non dolphin swim online. However, our booking can still be viewed online.

    Hi, I have just looked at the packages, don't think we could afford for 7 of us to go swimming with the dolphins, but the non dolphin swim package looks good, anyone done this if so what did you think? Any info appreciated, plus how would we book this? Should I do it Over the phone? We go July next year.

    We did the full dolphin swim on our trip and had a fantastic time - the only thing we messed up on was not reserving a sunbed before heading off to meet our dolphin. By the time we had finished they were all taken and we had nowhere to really chill out.
    Apart from that the dolphin swim is just a small part of it. There is plenty to do - most of it water based - like paddling with the manta rays, exploring the shipwreck in the lagoon, swimming under the waterfall then following the lazy river as it winds through the bird aviary.
    We were tempted to do it again this year - minus the dolphin swim as the little Pegs had gained more confidence in the water, especially with a snorkel, since our last visit - but hiring a Hummer won the day this time. [msncool]

    Is the water cold when you go in the ray/tropical fish area? I know it is bl--dy freezing at Typhoon Lagoon[msneek] And what about the rest of it, lazy river etc?
