Dolphin Adventures
"...like a dream come true!"
 The Swim with Dolphins, Dolphin Encounter, Dolphin Kids and Trainer for a Day programs at Dolphin Adventures are exciting family activities that give you another reason to come to Puerto Vallarta Mexico.
Located in nearby Nuevo Vallarta, the Dolphin Adventure Center is one of the few dolphin and marine mammal educational centers in the world that offers people of all ages the opportunity to experience up-close and personal encounters with Pacific Bottlenose dolphins.
Dolphin Adventures offers two programs for those who'd prefer their first dolphin experience to be on "solid ground." Dolphin Encounters allow non-swimmers to learn more about dolphins while standing in waist-deep water in specially designed seawater pools, and Dolphin Kids gives smaller children the chance to learn about, interact and play with dolphins in a fun and safe environment.
The more adventurous can experience the thrill of Swimming with Dolphins or spend an unforgettable day working beside Vallarta Adventures' professional marine mammal trainers in the Trainer for a Day program.
No matter which you choose, you'll get closer to dolphins than you ever dreamed possible, while enjoying a special closeness with these amazing animals - so make your reservations TODAY!

Just returned from a cruise to Mexico which included a stop in Puerto Vallarta where my wife, son, and I did the dolphin swim at your facility.Your program is absoultly the best ever!Words cannot adequatly express the joy we felt in being able to connect with these beautiful animals, and many thanks as well to the wonderful staff and trainers. It will be an expierence we will never forget! We have done the Royal Dolphin Swim in Cozumel wher the emphasis is more on entertaing the peopple with lots of tricks rather that teaching them about the dolphins and allowing that one on one connection. Don't ever change what you are doing.Thanks again and we will return as well as spread the word.Peter Hussmann |

I just have to thank all the people of Vallarta Adventures for the amazing times we had on your tours. We did the canopy tour, dolphin swim and snorkeling at las Mariatas. At all times I felt completely safe in the hands of the experienced guides hands. This allowed me to completeley let go and have a blast. On each tour I had a great time and walked away having learned something new and had an even greater reverence for the wildlife and environment around me. What was the best experience though was the staff. Every employee I met seemed to genuinely love their job but also treated the environment and wildlife with such respect and reverence. It was truly an heartwarming experience. Thanks again to everyone at Vallarta Adventures for making My Friends and My Fiancees and My Experience one we will Never Forget. We will definately share our comments with anyone headed for holiday to Peurto Vallarta, and rebook all of our next tours with you.Jordan Lennon

Had a trainer for a day with the dolphins and a sea lion and got to see the birds. It was incredible! The birds\' beauty was fascinating. The dolphins and the sea lion was great. (Though they eat a lot!) Special thanks to them for their tricks and patience with me as I learned about them. Kisses to Kaitsa and Nemo (dolphins) and Cassandria (sea lion).Angela |
