Bahamas - Encounters with Sharks and Dolphins

One of the most fulfilling outdoor activities around the Bahamas is swimming with Dolphins. Those who have tried it rave about the therapeutic rewards of a close encounter with these friendly intelligent marine mammals. There are several operators throughout the Bahamas that offer the ‘swimming with dolphins’ experience. However feeding and bodily contact are not allowed, these are wild creatures and should be treated with respect and the appropriate caution. But on the whole the risk of injury is slight and if you follow the instructors advice you’ll experience something that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Those with real balls can go one stop further and enjoy the ‘swimming with sharks’ experience. Not only do you come away from this enlightened you may well come away feeling lucky to be alive. Not that it is particularly dangerous; shark attacks on humans are actually very rare indeed. But once you have come face to face with these ferocious predators or witnessed them in a feeding frenzy you will truly respect why they have survived longer than any other living creature and why they, and only they will ever be the ‘kings of the ocean’.
