Dolphins Plus is committed to the conservation and protection of marine mammals worldwide through education, research, experiential learning,and environmental awareness. Our facility is located on the beautiful island of Key Largo, Florida on the Gulf of Mexico "Bayside", thus creating natural seawater homes for our Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. This creates an enriching and stimulating environment for our marine mammals and our guests, who are invited to swim with our dolphins. Our dolphin swims entail a once in a lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal for an exhilarating and unforgettable experience. In addition, we offer one of the most exceptional marine mammal educational experiences available to students of all ages, as well as a research program designed to promote a greater understanding of marine mammals worldwide. Dolphins Plus also works in close association with Dolphins Plus Marine Mammal Responder, and the Southeast Marine Mammal Stranding Network.
