Reach Paradise Island in one of several ways: hoof it uphill and over the bridge, take a taxi, or board a ferry from Woodes Rogers Wharf in downtown Nassau.
At Paradise Island Ferry Terminal, a boat awaits to take you on a scenic cruise to Blue Lagoon Island. En route, your captains navigates through Nassau’s picturesque harbor. Admire stately homes in this posh enclave, where icons like Oprah, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods own property.
Upon arrival at Blue Lagoon Island, officially known as Salt Cay, head to the captivating blue waters of an ocean-water lagoon. With the live soundtrack of jubilant squeaking in the background, your hour-long program begins with an engaging briefing on Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, their characteristics, animal training techniques and ocean conservation measures.
Don a provided lifejacket, and then get to know your new mammal friends, who bound out of the water to hug and kiss you. Rub their tummies as they swim belly-side up, sing along with them and gently hold onto their fins for a little dance.
Prepare yourself for a true show of the dolphins’ agility, grace and intelligence in the foot push finale. Dolphins propel you by your feet at a certain angle that slowly raises your body into an upright position. Then you’re flying, zooming across the lagoon, while the dolphins at your feet exert precise, synchronized pressure and speed to keep you from tipping over. But if you do, no worries, you have a lifejacket on — splash with laughter into the water.
Photographers and videographers are on-site to capture your incredible journey with the dolphins. Pictures and CDs will be available for purchase by the time you depart the island.
Spend your remaining time exploring the island’s beaches and amenities. Swing on a hammock under the shade of coconut palm trees, enjoy a tropical drink from the lagoon bar (own expense) or play some volleyball in the game area until it’s time to board the boat back to Paradise Island Ferry Terminal.
