It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

If you love dolphins, or have ever thought about being a dolphin trainer, the adventure of a lifetime awaits you in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico! Developed for people who want to learn more about training marine mammals, this special Trainer for a Day program gives you the chance to spend an exciting day working beside experienced dolphin trainers at state-of-the-art facilities.

This educational and interactive experience is designed to give you the rare opportunity to not only swim and play with beautiful Pacific Bottlenose dolphins, but to also have the chance to train them. For dolphin lovers, there's nothing that compares to the thrill of up-close and personal contact with these fascinating marine mammals. Don't miss this magical adventure!

In the Trainer for a Day program, you will become deeply involved in the operation of a dolphin center. As an active member of the team of marine mammal experts, you'll be in close contact with a family of Pacific Bottlenose dolphins - both in the pool and poolside - throughout the day.

After receiving a full uniform (yours to keep!), trainers-in-training enter the behind-the-scenes areas. Here you will meet a friendly team of trainers and help with the preparation of the dolphins' daily diet, learning about how to keep the dolphins healthy. Time in the on-site laboratory gives you the opportunity to learn more about the care and well being of dolphins.

Poolside interaction lasts throughout the day with free time in the smaller pools to play with and assist in the training of the dolphins. After a hearty lunch (included), you will enjoy a normal dolphin swim program. You will then finish your day by becoming a real trainer, hosting a program accompanied by the professional staff!

The dolphin training program lasts approximately six hours and includes a diploma, souvenir photo, and DVD of your swim. For future marine experts, or for guests who simply wish to really get up close to Bottlenose dolphins, this once-in-a-lifetime adventure should definitely not be missed!

Reserve a fun-filled, sun-filled, one-of-a-kind adventure for yourself or someone you love today!
