Dolphin Encounter question

We're taking our 17 yr old daughter on a 4day leaving from Miami in April 2018. She wants to do a dolphin encounter in Nassau, but we're having a hard time figuring out which is the best one without breaking the bank. We are looking to spend under $170 for the excursion, but obviously want the best bang for our buck.

Any input would be helpful. Thanks!

We did the Blue Lagoon Dolphin Encounter and had the best time.

Trainers wrestle dolphins into a sling in order to hold it underwater to the limits of it's breath. This asserts dominance over the wild creature to break it and allow for further training. Food deprivation and torture are how these dolphins learn to do tricks for your amusement. If you've ever spent money on a dolphin show or swim with dolphin program, you paid for this to continue.

We went in Cozumel and loved it. Definitely would do it again.

Many people are not yet aware of how dolphins arrive at the swim with dolphin attractions or how they are 'trained' to perform for you/swim with you. If everyone wanting to swim with a dolphin or participate would take a few minutes to visit this link and learn a bit more our mammal friends would appreciate it.

Thank you

We enjoyed it. People were having fun . Not really concerned about it.

You are not privy to how these animals were obtained or trained. This is certainly not the practice in the Bahamas.

This has nothing to do with the dolphin encounter that were talking about.
