EXPERIENCES
Learn about our fully accessible educational experiences that are available to a small number of visitors each day.
Make your time with dolphins matter
We are not a theme park, and our dolphins don’t do shows. We are a different kind of facility, and our programs are educational and intimate.
By contributing to IDC, you become part of an organization that has an ethical purpose and are a participant responsible for actively changing lives.

Dolphin Float
Float in the lagoon on your very own raft while the dolphins swim around. They can be very curious and want to learn about you. Whatever they choose to do is up to them!
Cost $110 per person
(Minimum 4 people. Private sessions available.)
Dolphins are not told what to do—the interaction is on their terms!
It’s always different and fun to see what they do.
Maybe they will push the raft, come up to you for rubs or kisses—whatever it is, it is always fun and interesting!
