DOLPHIN COVE AT TREASURE REEF - JAMAICA TOURIST ISSUE 13
While the “Dolphin Cove” name creates the image of interacting and swimming with dolphins in their natural habitat, Dolphin Cove has a lot of other adventures to offer to its visitors. Spend the day mingling with scary pirates at Treasure Reef, encounter colorful parrots and exotic animals on the Jungle Trail, shop for souvenirs or simply enjoy the sun and beach. Voted the #1 marine attraction in the Caribbean, visitors can interact and swim with bottlenose dolphins, sharks and stingrays or enjoy a once in a lifetime experience through the “Sea Keeper For A Day” adventure.
If you have ever dreamed of working with dolphins, sharks, stingrays and other creatures of the ocean, you can fulfill your dreams through the “Sea Keeper For A Day” program. Explains Dolphin Cove co-owner Marilyn Burrows, “We are offering marine lovers a rare chance to be a ‘trainer for a day’ working with Dolphin Cove’s trainers, doing what most people can only dream about.”
Visiting “Sea Keepers” spend the day in the midst of the action preparing food, feeding and interacting with a variety of marine creatures, while learning hands-on techniques used by Dolphin Cove’s experienced staff. Says Mrs. Burrows, “Guests get the chance to go behind the scenes and discover the secret lives of dolphins, sharks and stingrays. It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn the techniques used by the professionals to train mammals and fish.”
The unique adventure gives participants the dual satisfaction of learning while experiencing dolphins in a totally new way. Says Mrs. Burrows, “Just imagine discovering the power and grace of one of the world’s most intellectual creatures in your very own dolphin training session!” Partakers also get the opportunity to learn about training techniques for sharks and stingrays and have pictures taken to prove their bravery to family and friends.
Who knows; a career working with dolphins and other marine animals might be just right for you! Space for the 4-hour program is very limited, so remember to book early! Lots of memorabilia is included in the price, such as your very own whistle, notebook, certificate, 8 x 10 photo, a drink and an option to buy a trainer's shirt and cap. Dolphin Cove also offers an 8-hour program which includes lunch, a complete “Dolphin Swim Encounter” and a video.
