Cabo Dolphin Trainer Program

Cabo Dolphin Trainer Program

• Take a 5-minute walk from the pier to the Cabo Dolphins Center. Designed by the internationally renowned Mexican architect Enrique Norten, the Cabo Dolphins Center features state-of-the-art marine facilities and offers a full range of educational and dolphin interactive programs.
• Upon your arrival, meet and greet the dolphins and their trainers, who will be your hosts for the day as you learn all about dolphins, including a discussion on their anatomy, physiology, natural history and amazing underwater communication system.
• Prepare the dolphin's daily diet and learn about how the center cares for them in their onsite laboratory.
• Enjoy a delectable deli-style lunch (included in the price of your tour) at the local lounge bar.
• Next, accompanied by a trainer, enjoy approximately 30 minutes of swimming, touching and interacting with the dolphins in a specially designed pool.
• During the hands-on experience, learn some of the basics as the trainers demonstrate several techniques used to communicate with the dolphins. Practice the special techniques and discover how to feed these gentle creatures of the deep. You will also have the opportunity to pet, hug and even kiss the dolphins during your amazing water exchange.
• Finally, get ready to be propelled across the pool during the highlight of your experience: a dorsal push or belly ride.
