Swimming With Dolphins

Puerto Vallarta - 1.16.11

More updates from Puerto Vallarta! Another Vallarta Adventure we went on was swimming with the dolphins! I loved those dolphins! We had Gandalf and Ally as our dolphins (both male) and they were so sweet to play with us! Our trainer's name was Janet and we had a blast. We did the Signature Swim which included an hour of interacting with the dolphins. While it was the most expensive package, it gave you the most time to really play and interact with the dolphins. We even got to see the head trainer dolphin surf.

Here is the head trainer surfing on the dolphin. Seriously one of the most amazing things EVER.


Jumping dolphins! They could do backflips too!

We're conducting them here - literally.

We also got to ride our dolphins!

And feed them!

Hugging the dolphin. I think this is Gandalf (he had a huge cut by his blownose). Obviously I'm biased since his name is GANDALF. I mean, how cool is that? Says the nerd in me. I asked the trainer how they pick the names and the group votes. Well, you have my vote for Gandalf for sure! =D

The dolphins were really sweet and let us pet them as they swum around in a circle around us.

Finally, Dolphin kisses!

I loved swimming with the dolphins and if I were to go back, I think I would try to swim with the seals! It was worth every penny and I'm seriously thinking of becoming a dolphin trainer so I can have my own Gandalf and Ally. =D
