Dolphin Encounter Excursion - Roatan, Honduras @Anthonys Key Resort

5.00This excursion rates right up there in our all time top 5! The bus trip to the resort and the wait time was a bit long but SO worth it once we got into the water with the dolphins. They transport on a small boat and once there have small lockers for storage, changing rooms and a shower area. The dolphin trainers are very knowledgeable and friendly. The dolphins are amazing. A photographer took pictures of the experience and the prices were reasonable. We were very happy with this experience!
