Journey to the island paradise of Tortola for a one-of-a-kind dolphin encounter you're sure to never forget.
Escape across the sparkling Caribbean Sea — where endless blue sky mingles with sweeping coastal views — during a one-hour ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola, the largest of the British Virgin Islands. Along the way, snap a picture of St. Thomas, St. John, Norman Island, and Pelican Island from your seaside perch, and listen to your guide relay stories about the history of this sun-kissed region. Upon your arrival in Tortola, pass through Immigration before boarding an air-conditioned motor coach or taxi and embarking on a delightful, hour-long island drive — taking in such famous sites as Ridge Road, Sky World, Guana Island and Round Rock — to Dolphin Discovery. Overlooking the sparkling Caribbean Sea, Dolphin Discovery is one of the few places in the world to offer people of all ages the unique opportunity to partake in up close and personal experiences with dolphins, and is committed to the conservation and protection of marine mammals. Upon your arrival, meet and greet the facility's dolphin trainers and take in an interactive introduction to these gentle creatures of the deep, including a discussion of their anatomy, physiology and natural history. After your orientation, make your way to a submerged, waist-deep platform and immerse yourself in a magical in-water exchange with real live dolphins. Learn how gentle creatures of the deep respond to hand signals and positive reinforcement from the trainers and discover the fantastic underwater communication system inherent to all dolphins. Then, delight in an unforgettable hands-on interaction as you are invited to glide your hand over the dolphin's soft skin, share a friendly flipper shake and receive a friendly kiss with your newfound friend.
Following your 30-minute mammal meet-and-greet, savor the flavor of a delicious buffet-style lunch, and bask in the sea breezes as they wash over you in nearly every direction. Afterward, journey by air-conditioned motor coach back to the dock, where a ferry will be waiting to take you back to St. Thomas. Upon your arrival in Charlotte Amalie, make your way once again through Immigration. Finally, lose yourself once again to the stunning seaside views as you embark on a quick 10-minute walk back to the ship.
