Dolphin Interaction Programme The dolphin interaction programme is an excellent way of reinforcing our knowledge of these extraordinary ambassadors of the oceans. It is a unique opportunity to get to know and interact with trained bottlenose dolphins, under the supervision of specialized professionals, participating simultaneously in sequences of aquatic behavior. The initial phase of the programme consists of an educational talk aimed at increasing the participants awareness of the protection of marine species and habitats. In this presentation, several facts are provided about the bottlenose its biology and ecology. Including the educational session, the time it takes to change and the interaction itself, the participants will be occupied for around 90 minutes. The time spent in the water is approximately 30 minutes. During the programme the participants are accompanied, in and out of the water, by an educator who will provide all the information and answer any questions asked.
