The Trainer For A Day program is an in-depth, three hour behind the scenes look into the daily activities of the Dolphin Connection training team. The program is designed to give participants a up-close and personal, behind the scenes experience by providing hands on opportunities and assisting the training sraff in sessions and daily duties. Limited to a maximum of two participants per day, this program offers a unique opportunity to experience what it's like to be a dolphin trainer. The program includes ample opportunities to interact with our dolphin family: the Dolphin Discovery and the Dockside Dolphins programs are included as well as a private training session with the dolphins from the docks. Participants have one-on-one time with the trainer and are involved in various hands on activities regarding the care and training of our dolphins. Our talented photographers will be capturing your experience throughout the program.
You'll shadow our Marine Mammal Specialist and go behind the scenes to work with our ocean ambassadors.
Our facility is in a natural lagoon. Observation areas are located in multiple locations around the lagoon. Not all swimming areas and interactive platforms are able to be seen unobstructed. Platform selection is done based on guest count and program type. Due to the variability of our dolphins and natural habitat we can not ensure clear views for non participants. The best view of all is in one of our programs as a guest. We recommend parents to participate with minors if concerned about views from outside on the observation deck. We do not guarantee all participants will be in full line of sight at all times during our programs due to the habitat set up.
