Frequently Asked Questions

It was a story that dolphins protected sailors in ancient Greece, which even appeared on an episode of Flipper. This idea is so fascinating that many people find it amazing. It's not true, unfortunately.

Dolphins don't swim with people, "kiss", or tow people in the water because it is fun. They do this because they have to. These are not natural behaviors and all captive dolphins are trained to perform them correctly. If they don't, they won't eat.

You can touch the dolphin's bellies and hold on to their pectoral fins while they swim around the lagoon. This is called "Belly Ride". The "Foot Push" is the last activity. However, you will be pushed while riding a boogieboard.
