I did it in Eilat in Israel but it was many years ago before there were too many problems there. I don't know how I would feel going there now although it is a shame as Israel is a beautiful country to travel around.

So sorry to hear about your Mum.

Have swam with dolphins in Cuba - it really is amazing and a lovely thing to do for your mum. Have heard that just to swim with dolphins in Florida can cost a few hundred pounds. Think we paid about £30 for a show, and to swim with the dolphins for about 25 minutes!

Good luck in finding something

:lol: x

Yes there are several dolphinariums in Cuba now, however the cost is now around 90 dollars for a swim. Holguin area is good (Las Brisas) and you can get some excellent deals if you can travel out of main season. May is quite good. It is possible to book a flight direct for around 150 pounds and then sort your own accommodation if you are adventurous enough.

The capture and penning of wild dolphins for tourists to swim with should not be encouraged in this day and age! :cry:

swimming with Dolphins

You can hand feel wild dolphins at Tangalooma wild dolphin resort on Moreton Island 22 mile just off Brisbane Queensland Australia.

The walk you into knee deep water every evening 7pm-8pm and you hand feed them.

Were were there in mid March and it was so wounderful.
