FREEPORT, Bahamas:
Looking for a more 'advanced' Dolphin experience?
From the sound of the UNEXSO Open Ocean Dolphin Experience, that's what you'll get, if you are willing to spend the $$. (219 of them)

Info found on the web:

"... particularly unusual dolphin activity that is unique to our Grand Bahama Island location. Only on this excursion can you not only witness our trained Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins in the open sea while they follow along side our tour boat, but also climb into the turquoise waters of the Caribbean and swim with these intelligent and friendly mammals in their natural environment."

This is the first time I have heard of this offering! Pretty pricey.

Isn't he pretty?

There's another great pic of two dolphins leaping in tandem, but you'll have to go to the site to see it.

Well, it IS a little more than some of the others... those all seem to be in fenced in areas or contained arenas with captive dolphins.
The description of this leads one to believe that is is different in that respect... you go out in a boat, with the dolphins swimming alongside, then do a REAL dolphin SWIM in open waters.
