If in Key Largo, don't miss this opportunity! It was one of the most exciting experiences. The staff and dolphins are truly a family. We swam with Elvis and Leo, what a great team. Our trainer was a really neat guy and you could see how much he loves his job. Kudos to Dolphin Cove!

I was so impressed with the dolphins. They seemed very happy to play with everyone. I had never even seen a dolphin up close before so I was in awe. The experience was so worth the money. I was with my wife and then there was two other people with our trainer and dolphins, we got to spend roughly 45... More

This was an amazing afternoon. After an hour education session about dolphins, my husband and I spent the most amazing time in the water with Alfons and Kimbit. Our trainer was so knowledgeable and friendly. This facility is lovely. It is small and comfortable and the dolphins seem so well cared for. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. I would highly... More

Dolphin Cove was recommended by friends who were here in 2012. THANK YOU. The experience was worth every single penny. We have swam with the manta's/stingrays in the Cayman Islands and the Hawksbill turtles in Barbados and this eclipsed them both. The trainers were friendly, know their dolphins and were answering all questions fired at them. It was quiet on... More

While staff were courteous and friendly, we were very disappointed with the experience. Their education prior to the dolphin encounter was longer than the actual swim. We booked the shallow water encounter due to having 2 children, ages 3 and 5. We were told at time of booking that we would stand on a submerged platform at rate of $155... More

Great staff, super friendly. Trainers and aides were knowledgable about dolphins and their care. Great for friends, family trips. They offer different programs depending on budget and how comfortable you are in the water. Our daughter kissed Kimbit a young dolphin and she is absolutely thrilled! What a memory!!

No regrets! Well worth the money. Trainers are awesome and very knowledgeable. One trainer in particular ( blonde curly hair ) was awesome. She took time after the swim to answer questions and tell us interesting facts about the dolphins. Wish I had gotten her name because she was great!

Great, friendly service from all the staff at Dolphin Cove. The whole experience was a delight, and there was plenty time in the water with the lovely dolphins. It is a costly game this, but in comparison to other companies, they are cheaper, so slightly better value. I don't understand why some reviewers are getting upset about observer positions near...

A terrific experience all around for our family of 4. Knowledgeable, friendly trainers who cared about the dolphins. There were several groups swimming simultaneously, but we never even noticed we were just having too much fun! Expensive, but when you consider one dolphin can eat 19 lbs of fish a day, you can see why. After your session was over... More
