Schedule your trip to Barbados. Without having air fare and a hotel all the planning to swim with dolphins in the world won’t do you much good. This will also help you a great deal if you need to schedule an appointment in advance to swim.
Find and price different package deals in Barbados that include a dolphin swim. Many times resorts will offer a package as well as tourist driven adventure packages, such as cruises and hikes around the island.
Look at independent companies in Barbados that offer swimming with dolphins. While they probably will not be as inexpensive as a package deal, they may have better availability. In many cases companies like this will have websites or will be featured in Barbados travel books. Westwater Trips Barbados is one such organization.
Schedule your swim in advance. This solves two major problems while you are on the island. First, you will be able to pay in advance and will not have to worry about money while on the island. Second, this will help you avoid the heartbreak of long lines or even cancellations as these attractions are often very popular and fill up quickly.
Be adventurous on your trip and play it by ear. Planning ahead is not for everyone, especially if you are not positive you must swim with dolphins. Wait until you get to the island and see how you feel. Ask the hotel if they have any recommendations.
