Loading ...BAHAMAS - SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS
Posted by Roy
In this article we continue the series on eco tourism and take a look at an exciting adventure in the Bahamas swimming with the Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins.
Three miles from Nassau and Paradise Island is a wonderful, natural Marine Park, which is now a sanctuary for the Bottlenose Dolphins. On Blue Lagoon Island or to give it its official name Salt Cay – you can really get “up close” with these fascinating and intelligent animals in the warm clear waters. In December the water temperature is around 70 degrees and wet suits are not required. Sun cream is a must!
You can have a choice, depending on how “brave” you are. For a first experience there are waist-deep wooden platforms on which you can stand and make friends with the dolphins pet them and feed them and get to know these gentle creatures until you are ready to join them in their world.
The ultimate thrill is to swim with them, usually for 30 minutes and really commune and interact with these delightful creatures. They are even likely to nuzzle up to you and push you along in the water. An underwater camera would provide the unique holiday photographs with which you can impress and bore the friends back home.
As you have already read, the Bahamas are a beautiful group of islands with friendly people and it is not just all about dolphins. There is a multitude of other sports and activities but swimming with dolphins must surely rate high on the list.
