Dolphin Cove (tel. 876/974-5335, info@dolphincovejamaica.com, www.dolphincovejamaica.com, 8:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. daily, reservations required for encounters) is located just around the corner from Dunn's River Falls and offers a variety of programs where visitors interact with dolphins to a varying degree of intimacy, depending on the price--starting with a Touch Encounter (US$67), where you get to touch the dolphins' snout in knee-high water, to the Swim Encounter (US$129), where you get to touch the dolphins while swimming in an enclosed area of the ocean, to Swim with Dolphins (US$195), where visitors actually do a dorsal pull and a foot push with two dolphins.
In the shark program (US$119), there is a feeding show and petting and snorkeling session with six nurse sharks, ranging from 0.6 meter to up to three meters long.
The basic admission (US$45) includes kayaking, snorkeling, mini motor-boat rides, and glass-bottomed boat tours. Listed prices reflect direct booking through Dolphin Cove.
