点评:We had a really nice time at Dolphin Explorer and were able to create some wonderful memories with the dolphins, exotic birds, and especially the sea lion, Lenny. It was truly fulfilling to learn new things about dolphins and even revisit some childhood dreams through this experience.
Before the dolphin interaction, there is a short training and safety video that explains how to properly interact with the dolphins. They also provide lockers, and all personal belongings must be placed inside including phones and cameras since dolphins are very sensitive. This is important to know ahead of time, as you won’t be able to take your own photos during the experience.
The encounter wasn’t perfect I did notice the animals seemed a little tired at times, and the interaction felt a bit rushed toward the end. I also understand that the photo pricing per person is quite expensive, but that’s how they make their money and keep the business running. It may be different back home in the U.S., but that’s how things operate there, so I can’t really knock their hustle.
I’m aware that animal conditions may not meet everyone’s expectations, and that’s something to keep in mind when booking. It did feel like a business at the end of the day, which may explain why the experience moved quickly and why we had to wait for the entire group before being allowed to leave.
Overall, I had a nice time and made great memories, especially fulfilling a childhood dream. Just be prepared for the structure of the experience, the photo upsells, and the group timing.

在与海豚互动之前,会播放一段简短的培训和安全视频,讲解如何正确地与海豚互动。中心还提供储物柜,所有个人物品,包括手机和相机,都必须存放在里面,因为海豚非常敏感。这一点需要提前了解,因为在互动过程中您将无法自行拍照。
这次体验并非完美无瑕。我注意到,海豚有时看起来有点疲惫,而且互动结束时感觉有点仓促。我也理解照片的收费比较高,但这是他们维持运营和盈利的方式。在美国可能情况有所不同,但那里就是这样运作的,所以我不能责怪他们的努力。我明白动物的生存状况可能不符合每个人的预期,预订时请务必考虑这一点。总的来说,这确实感觉像是一家商业机构,这或许可以解释为什么体验流程很快,以及为什么我们必须等到所有团员都到齐才能离开。
总的来说,我玩得很开心,也留下了美好的回忆,尤其是实现了儿时的梦想。只是要做好心理准备,体验流程、拍照推销以及团队活动时间安排都是固定的。
