What you Can Do Before or After Your Swimming with Dolphins Florida Keys

There is a lot do in the Florida Keys, especially in Islamorada, the fishing capital of the world. Here are some suggestions of what you can do besides your swim with dolphins…

A Pirates Choice Deep Sea Fishing Charters, 84500 Overseas highway, ☎ 305-360-4900, [3]. Never been deep sea fishing before? We’ll help you succeed! Full and half day available. 305-360-4900 edit

Bud and Marys, 79851 Overseas Highway, ☎ 800-742-7945, [5]. 7AM-9PM. Islamorada’s fishing landmark and famous marina featured on many fishing shows. boat rentals, chartered fishing trips, pontoon boats, tackle shops with coffee and deli. Miss Islamorada docks there which is a party boats $60 for full day of fishing includes rods, tackle, and bait. Bring your own lunch and drinks

My favorite is Robbies Marina, I have been going there for many years and it is a lot of fun! I love to rent Kayaks from there and go out to the ocean on a calm day and paddle to the local state park which is an island off the shore.

During your Swimming with Dolphins Florida Keys program you can do this before or after your dolphin program, you can see all the shows at theater of the sea. The shows consist of the dolphin show, sea lion show, the parrot show, and park exhibits. You can easily spend 2 hours enjoying all the shows and exhibits. You will get a map and show schedule upon check in for your dolphin swim.  Also, there is a private beach at the dolphin facility, where you can sun bath or swim or snorkel with the tropical fishes. This is all included with your entrance price.

Another thing you can do in the area is enjoy the great food.  Here a small list of some of my favorites….

Morada Bay, 81590 Overseas highway, ☎ 305-664-0604, [8]. 11:30AM-12PM. Perfect for the sunset! chairs are set up to view the sunset, no reservations taken, island casual dress, live band, indoor/outdoor seating, tables and chairs on the sand, must try: Wagyu Burger edit

From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with such warmth and genuine friendliness, immediately making us feel welcome and eager to explore. Their helpfulness was evident throughout the park, and we greatly appreciated their assistance. We also noted how remarkably clean and well-maintained the entire facility was, which certainly contributed to a very pleasant atmosphere. The layout of the park and the thoughtful staggering of the show times were particularly impressive. This allowed us to enjoy all the presentations at a relaxed pace, without ever feeling rushed. As someone who has recently undergone two knee replacements, I was pleasantly surprised and very grateful for how accessible and manageable the park was to navigate. It was not at all strenuous, which allowed me to fully immerse myself in the experience without any discomfort. One of the absolute highlights of our day was the "Swim with the Dolphins" experience in the deeper water. The staff overseeing this program were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and continued to be just as friendly and accommodating as everyone else we encountered. Again, I found this activity to be perfectly manageable despite my recent surgeries, which speaks volumes about its thoughtful execution. Beyond the fantastic guest experience, what truly resonated with us was the palpable kindness and care shown towards all the animals. It is evident that the well-being of your residents is a top priority. Learning about your commitment to rescue and rehabilitation for animals that cannot care for themselves further solidified our appreciation for Theater of the Sea's mission. Thank you once again for providing such an unforgettable and enjoyable day. We certainly look forward to sharing our positive experience online with friends and on review websites, and we sincerely hope to have the opportunity to visit you again very soon

I visited Dolphin World last week with my husband. We had an amazing time. The interaction and swimming with the dolphins was just so mesmerizing. I did not think twice, no hesitation at all. The dolphin show was out of this world. The trainers do an amazing job. I'm my opinion the show surpassed Sea World. I came home and told my girlfriend all about and she wants to experience this also. I told her I do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for an amazing experience. Celeste Ferrell Virginia

If I could give 50 stars I would. Every part of this experience was beyond amazing. I never thought I’d actually get to swim with dolphins! The trainers and the staff were exceptional. They went out of their way to make each and every person happy. This is something in your life you do not want to miss!

My boyfriend and I drove 2 plus hrs for the dolphin deep swim experience and it was beyond worth it!!! We made such a great memory that will last a lifetime. I’ve swam with dolphins in the past and my experience in Florida definitely topped it! I recommend purchasing the pictures at the end of your visit:)

I chose the Royal package and it was absolutely GREAT! I had a blast with the dolphins and trainers. The people who work there truly love these dolphins. I read a couple of reviews before I booked because I wanted to make sure it would be worth it, it is. I had seen where someone had mentioned the time they got to spend with the dolphins, I can only assume they chose a different package than I chose because, we had plenty of time with them and each person in the group got a chance with them. The only issue I had was the gift shop. I wanted to get a sticker with the dolphins that I got to swim with, but unfortunately they are the popular dolphins and no stickers were available. If anyone on staff sees this, I'd pay for these stickers when they come in if it would be possible to send them to me (I can provide the dates I was there if that would help). 😊 Overall a great experience. I would recommend this to anyone; Adults & Kids (age appropriate of course). Bucket List: ✅
