Wracking your brain trying to find the ideal vacation spot this winter? Look no further than sunny Mexico.  There are several options available to you, all of which involve taking advantage of the gorgeous Mexican weather.    

A wonderful activity for the kids is the Dolphin Encounter in Cabo San Lucas.  This activity brings you and the kids up close with Pacific Bottlenose dolphins so you can swim with and learn more about this friendly animal.  While this is great for children, it is also an excellent way to make you feel like a kid again!  The dolphin trainers will start off with a warm introduction to the history, anatomy, and communication patterns of dolphins.  You will be surprised at how little you actually knew about these creatures before and will leave knowing so much more. 

For 15 minutes, you will get to explore the physical features of the dolphin, touching its slick skin and taking a closer look at its other unique characteristics.  The trainers will also teach you some training techniques, which you will get to use yourself as you feed and communicate with them.  You might even get a little kiss from your dolphin or share a “handshake” or dance.  You will not want to miss this experience, especially those who have never been swimming with dolphins before.  You can even select a longer and more in-depth activity with the hour-long Swim with the Dolphins. 

You do not need to be able to swim to participate in this activity, because even though the saltwater pools are too deep to stand, you will be provided with a life vest to keep you afloat.  You will only need to use your strength to move around in the water, not to keep you above it.  There is also a program designed specifically for 4 to 9 year olds, which gives the younger children a chance to be with the dolphins in shallow waters.  This Dolphin Kids Program will give your child the experience of a lifetime as they get one-on-one time to play with and learn about the dolphins.

Just when you thought you were all out of options for a day with the dolphins, there is one more thing you can do.  For those enthusiastic individuals who have ever thought of becoming a dolphin trainer, you can spend a day in the life of one at the Dolphin Trainer for a Day Program.  For six hours, you will become closely involved with the overall operation of a dolphin center as you suit up and learn about the daily care of dolphins, including preparing their food and learning how to keep them healthy.  At the end of the day you will even take on the role of a real trainer as you host an actual program, with the help of the staff of course! At the day’s end, you will receive a special diploma and a photo and DVD to remember the day.  You will also get to keep your uniform, not to mention the memory of playing an important part in the day of activities at the dolphin center.
