Swim with the most Playful Dolphins in the World! | Away from the Crowds

by Joe Noonan on June 11, 2017

I love Bimini, I think it’s one of the best places in the world to go swimming with wild dolphins. Let’s face it, if you’re gonna travel somewhere to go swimming with dolphins, wouldn’t you want it to be in a beautiful warm, gentle, calm and clean ocean with some of the most playful dolphins in the world?

The spotted dolphins of Bimini are incredibly social and interactive. Because I do trips exclusively for couples and families, we get to be in the water with the dolphins for extended lengths of time. You get to swim and play with the same dolphins over a longer span of time, something not available if you’re with a group of 10, 15 or 20 other people. The photo below is of a game we were playing with a spotted dolphin in Bimini, passing the seaweed back and forth.

The dolphins will frequently play seaweed tag with us. One of the things I love about these encounters is how long the game can last. This is a direct result of a low human-to-dolphin ratio.

I’ve been bringing small groups and families to swim with the dolphins in Bimini for over 20 years. I’ve fallen in love with Bimini, and have been living here for over 15 years. After having swum with wild dolphins around the globe, I think the encounters we have here are literally the best in the world.

Imagine a private chartered trip for you and your partner/family. Daily adventures out on the water with the dolphins, snorkeling, fishing if you want, freediving and swimming with stingrays and even sharks if you wish! Most families come for the dolphins, check out this fun game of seaweed tag with a pod of young dolphins in Bimini. We passed the seaweed back multiple times…

If you are simply curious or have questions about my custom trips, give me a call. I look forward to talking with you!

Joe, Do you have any group trips planned that an individual could join? I would like to do a trip to Bimini to be with the dolphins, but am an individual, so would have to hook up with a group.

Looking at this spring.

Thanks

Hi Joe,

I am very interested in swimming with the wild dolphins, since a young age I have been obsessed with dolphins. My boyfriend and I are heading to Nassau on the 6th of November. I was wondering how much your trips are please and if there was more information available please.

Many thanks,
Aisling

Hi. My wife and I are taking a weekend trip to Miami Beach and were thinking of taking a day trip from there to Bimini. I would love to get some more information on swimming with the dolphins… do you have a regular schedule, cost, etc…

Thanks,
Patrick

Looking for a good experience snorkeling with Dolphins for a day or two . . would be bringing 3 people in addition to myself. They are not underwater photographers like myself. Would be the 2nd week of June ’18. Ideas? Flights to/from Bimini from PBI or FLL?

Please tell me more about your rates and availability. My husband and I are cruising on our sailboat in the Exumas and will be returning to Florida sometime near the end of May, depending on wind and weather. I would love to stop off at Bimini and swim with the wild dolphin pods you describe. I do not scuba dive- but love to snorkel.
Please tell me more about your excursions.
Thanks!
