Was wondering if I could get some feedback about swimming with dolphins at either of these islands. My mother in law wants to swim with the dolphins. I see they offer this excursion at both islands and was wondering what the diffence was?
Also-is it better to book via cruise ship or go direct to www.dolphindiscovery.com
Thanks much for your comments in advance!!!

Biggest difference is that the Ocho Rios Dolphins have dreadlocks and the Cozumel Dolphins speak Spanish. Ooooh, Sorry, coulden't resist.

I've only done the Dolphin excursion in Nassau so can't really help except to say that it is always better to book directly with the tour operator on ANY excursion to avoid the cruise line mark-up.

Happy cruising,

Michael

I would be interested in an answer to this question too. We are also trying to decide where to meet the dolphins.

Although I did like Mbandy's answer.

Re: Cozumel dolphins vs Ocho Rios dolphins

My boyfriend and I were trying to decide this, too. What I noticed was that Cozumel offers more time with the dolphins than Jamaica. We're booking Cozumel.

Head for the bookstore and pick up a Fodor's guide to the Caribbean. This is a great recourse for setting up excursions. They will rate the different trips and give you contact info. for info on Cozumel, a great site is cozumelinsider.com

Happy Cruising,

Michael
