Dolphin Quest Bermuda

Dolphin Quest Bermuda

One of the surveys conducted by BBC clearly showed that swimming with Dolphins was one of the top dreams for many before they die.

If you share the same dream, there is no better place than the Dolphin Quest Bermuda. It's a center for dolphin display and training.

Well if you are scared to swim with Dolphins but would enjoy hand feeding or touching them, Dolphin Quest could still be the perfect place. If you only like to watch spectacular Dolphin shows, then take a look at the pictures below.

I can tell you that there are very few Dolphin training and display centers in the world where you can view such amazing Dolphin activities as in this center. The Dolphin center in Bermuda is a very popular tourist attraction and one of our personal favorites.

Dolphin Show at Dolphin Quest Bermuda

Originally the Bermuda's Dolphin site was opened in 1996 at the Fairmont Southampton hotel complex. However this was completely destroyed in 1999 by Hurricane Gert.

The Dolphin Quest Bermuda facility was subsequently moved to the fort at the Royal Naval Dockyard and has remained there ever since.

During our first experience here, I was a bit nervous at first. I heard that after all Dolphins were wild creatures and could be sometimes quite dangerous when they are in off mood. My son, a 9 year old over-enthusiastic kid had also joined me to swim along with the Dolphins. This was an added tension.

However the expert trainers at the center did a great job, and demonstrated the lovable and friendly behaviors of the dolphins. We were soon swimming and playing with the dolphins to our ultimate fulfillment.

The center offers several programs to interact with the dolphins. You can touch, feed and swim with the dolphins. Here are the two most popular programs at the Dolphin Quest:

Ultimate Adventure

This is an hour-long program. It offers most dolphin time compared to the other programs. You are able to meet, feed the dolphins, have fun and even enjoy a ride on an underwater scooter. This program only allows small groups and offers greater flexibility to cater to your own individual interests.

So you can decide how much time you would like to swim alongside dolphins in the deep water, or use the underwater scooters or simply spend more intimate time with the dolphins at the submerged platform.

This program runs daily at 11:30 am. An additional program is sometimes offered at 1:45 pm depending on demand. The program charge for one hour is 295$ per person.

Dolphin Moment

For a shorter experience with the dolphins, you can meet the dolphins in a brief 5-minute dockside interaction. This program at the Dolphin Quest Bermuda is held only on-demand and reservations are done on the spot. So once on-site, you need to walk into the Dolphin Deck gift shop to ask for the next available time.

Groups range from one to five participants at a time, and the dockside experience is captured in a photo that will be printed and given to you as a take-away memento.

It’s ideal for those who do not want to spend much time or get too wet in a dolphin interaction experience. Program duration is 5 minutes and costs 60$ per person. Every additional person costs 20$.
