For Real Fun, Go On A Cabo San Lucas Dolphin Adventure
by Christine OKelly
Whether you're sunning on the beach or deep-sea fishing for prized marlin, everyone knows this tropical paradise is an ideal place to go on vacation. However, many people don't realize that it's one of the premier locations in the world for getting up close to dolphins.
The Pacific bottlenose and spotted dolphins are native to this area and they are just as playful and friendly as you might imagine. These curious and intelligent mammals seem to be just as attracted to people as people are to them. In fact, they resemble puppies in their playfulness and behavior. When visiting this beautiful city in Mexico, you can have a number of different encounters, depending on the level of adventure you seek. You can enjoy performances and pool encounters, see them in the wild while snorkeling or scuba diving, or even become a trainer for a day at one of the local sanctuaries.
Trainer For A Day
If you're one of those people that smiles big when you see a dolphin, you will definitely enjoy being a trainer for a day at one of the local sanctuaries. Just imagine how fun it would be to spend an entire day working with professional trainers, wearing a real uniform, while interacting with a Cabo San Lucas dolphin pod. During this adventure, sanctuaries will usually allow you to help in performances by giving signals and even rewarding these amazing animals with treats.
This fun experience typically begins with a class in dolphin physiology and behavior before you move on to actually assisting a real trainer in providing daily care and maintenance for these sea faring residents of the sanctuary. Once you've completed some on the job training, you'll move to the performance pool to help out during the day's shows.
You'll spend your entire day interacting with dolphins and professional trainers. The sanctuary will give you a DVD, photographs, and a diploma so you can relive your encounter anytime. If you love dolphins, there is no better experience than being a trainer for a day -- unless you become a trainer for real.
Visiting A Dolphin Sanctuary
If you want to introduce yourself or your family to dolphins, visiting a sanctuary for a performance or an in-pool encounter is perfect, even for younger children. The performances are fun for all ages as a Cabo San Lucas dolphin pod will have you fascinated during the show. You'll be amazed at how versatile and intelligent these mammals are and will be delighted at their joy for performing. A pool encounter will get you up close to dolphins where you can actually touch and interact with them. As you give commands, play, feed, and even hug a dolphin, you'll be awestruck by them.
If you're headed to this gorgeous locale, make the time to meet a dolphin whether as a trainer for a day or as a new friend. You'll be glad you did.
