In reply to wherethedolphinsswim. Yup, which is a pity. Dolphin Discovery with Vallarta Adventures might be fun, but there's nothing like seeing them in the wild.

This is a wonderful post! What is so great is that you are showing people there are alternatives to the captive dolphin programs in Mexico. I think most people only think of Dolphin Discovery when they think of swimming with dolphins in Mexico. There is nothing like spending time with dolphins in the wild. The tour operator sounds terrific. Thanks again!

I swam with dolphins one time by mistake. Scared the heck out of me at first. They were much bigger than I expected 🙂

Super cool that you got to swim with them in the wild. After watching “The Cove,” I’m vehemently against swimming with dolphins in captivity. So I love that there is the opportunity to still interact with this creatures but allow them to remain in their natural habitat. I bet that makes it much more special!

In reply to Hogga. Well, it is not uncommon for dolphins to hit people when playing...not that I want to keep you away from them! ;)

In reply to Sara @ Walking Tours Rome. Much nicer to see them in the wild I think! Though playing with them is also in my bucket list!

Oh my god, this looks like such an amazing experience! I’ve only gone swimming with dolphins once, but they weren’t in the wild like this… I think it’s definitely going on my Bucket List.

Awww! This sounds and looks so amazing! I was asked to come feed the whales and dolphins at a seaworld show when I was 10, but I told them no cause I was scared 🙁 I’m totally ready now though haha.

In reply to Abi. I felt comfortable with what I did, and would frankly recommend a tour like this to everyone.

I got to swim with dolphins recently as well and it is so incredibly magical!

Wow…This was something that I always wanted to do. Then I visited a dolphin research centre and had second thoughts…I wrote about that and you kindly stopped by to direct me to this post. Now I am thinking again…Great pictures, great food for thought.

In reply to Cathy Sweeney. Thanks Cathy! You should...in fact I recently held a contest that gave away a 1 week stay in an apartment here. There is a winner already though!

Puerto Vallerta is where I went whale watching. I love that area!

I swam with a lone dolphin off the Sinai in Egypt a few years back — it was kind of sad though because the poor fella was all alone. This looks way more fun. 🙂

Glad that your dream of swimming with dolphins became a reality! And such a wonderful location for it — Puerto Vallerta. Haven’t been there in years — time to go back! Your photos are excellent.
