So I have ALWAYS wanted to swim with dolphins. It’s one of those childhood dreams that you are inspired to keep wanting but not sure if it will actually happen…kind of like finding Prince Charming. I booked my Dolphin swim through Blue Lagoon for the Thursday that I was in the Bahamas. I arrive at P.I ferry terminal nice and early full of excitement and ready to go!

We had to take a boat out to the Island where we would be doing the dolphin swims and encounters (there is a difference between the 2.) We had to sit through a short lecture about dolphins, mammals and what to do when we were in the water. Then we headed out to find wetsuits and to find out which dolphins we were going to swim with. In my group I had a mom and daughter from New York and a lady with her son and granddaughter. Playing with the dolphins was a lot of fun, but instead of me going on and on about it, I’ll just post a link to the website and you can see the difference between the swim and the encounter as well as the island I was on, and yes I did the thing when the dolphin pushes your feet and you “fly” through the water. http://www.dolphinencounters.com/

Later on you are allowed to walk around the Island and catch which ever ferry you choose to get home. I walked around for a while, and then made my way to a little cocktail shack, which served all things tropical, with straws and umbrellas. While sitting there I met a Canadian guy who was also travelling solo, so we sat together and chatted. Then we added 2 Spanish girls to our mix of travelers. Just then a girl who looked just like someone I went to high school with walked past…OMG! It IS someone I went to high school with! After a little chat we said our goodbyes and I settled back into my seat, and then the music began!

They were playing all sorts of “dance songs” you know the ones where it tells you what moves to do, or where the moves are super easy and repeated a few times. The lady in charge of getting people to let loose and enjoy their time made a beeline for me, and I happily obligated, so there I was dancing on a small Island in the Bahamas to the “cha cha slide” Good times!
