It seems like just yesterday we were planning our summer family vacations and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. While dreaming about travel in quarantine, we learned that Dolphin Quest is bringing those experiences into our homes. And it’s a dream come true.
During this time of uncertainty, it is especially important for kids of all ages to create joyful moments and connect with nature. What better way to do that than with a private Dolphin Encounter via Zoom? Families and friends can travel virtually to Dolphin Quest Hawaii, Dolphin Quest Oahu, or Dolphin Quest Bermuda. There, they can interact live with dolphins and Marine Mammal Specialists.
Get ready for an engaging and interactive visit with Marine Mammal Specialists like Janessa Crockwell and Krysta Walker. You’ll also meet their favorite dolphins, including Ely, Devon, Cavello, and Marley. The experts provide a guided and personalized experience from the safety of your home. From the first glimpse on screen, it will be love at first sight.
Take on the Role of a Dolphin Trainer
Janessa and Krysta engage the group throughout the visit. They introduce everyone and call on the kids by name to help with tricks. They also field the 101 questions that come up as everyone learns about dolphins.
The interactive experience lets you take on the role of a dolphin trainer. Wave hello to start, then watch the dolphins leap, twirl, splash, and dance at your signal. You can even act alongside them, virtually speaking. Prepare to feel as if you are in the water with these bathing beauties. Little ones will erupt with squeals of delight and thunderous applause, while the dolphins bask in their cheers.
Create a Dolphin Masterpiece
The highlight of the visit, and the hands-down fan favorite, is the interactive dolphin painting session. Devon the Dolphin takes the paintbrush in her mouth and creates a masterpiece right before your eyes. You choose the colors, then watch as she makes distinct brushstrokes. Once the painting is finished, you can look forward to a special delivery at your door. It’s a keepsake to treasure long after the visit.
Spread Some Dolphin Love
You can also spread some love by gifting a Virtual Dolphin Encounter to a healthcare worker or someone special who could use a lift right now. Dolphin Quest also offers free Dolphin Quest LIVE broadcasts on its Facebook page. These daily sessions feature Marine Mammal Specialists and dolphins in a fun and informative format.
These experiences offer a bright spot now and a preview of brighter days ahead. Your family can make memories together while learning how to protect dolphins in the wild. You’ll also learn more about the importance of protecting dolphins and our oceans. It’s the kind of experience you’ll want to repeat, both virtually and in person, once we can travel again.
Reserve your experience at Dolphin Quest Bermuda, Dolphin Quest Hawaii, or Dolphin Quest Oahu. You can visit Hawaii or Bermuda virtually from your computer or smart device.
