Dolphin Encounter in Bermuda...worth the money?

It depends on your expectations.  Some tours only let you touch the dolphins--others let you swim with them, but not touch them--and still others let you do both, swim and touch. Find out the details, and decide if it is worth it to you. Cruise critic has forums where you can communicate with other cruisers and find out their experiences.

About three years ago when these things were the "hot new item any fisherman needed in his tackle box" I went out and bought a couple of my favorite colors.  I tried them out and caught fish.  It wasn't like they hit the water and all of a sudden fish from the whole lake were fighting for it, but I caught fish nonetheless.\n\nI'm the type of person that if something works, I'm going to use it.  I'm also the type of person that when the fish are biting, and biting good, I'll throw a couple different things at them just to see if they're picky about what they're hitting.  Almost every time I've caught fish on a Yamamoto Senko, (except when they're hitting Yamamotos in tournaments and I don't want to take the chance of wasting casts,) I've thrown a ZOOM trickworm in right behind it and had bites.  I'm not going to sit here and tell you that it's not worth your money, because you're fishing in Pennsylvania, and I'm in NC.  However, down here, I haven't noticed a difference significant enough to warrant spending the extra money.\n\nI like to have as many options available to me when I'm on the water though so I will admit that I do have about 10 different senkos in my bags.  They aren't used too often anymore, but they're still in there.

5-10 MPH is about average. Also, try "drifting" a live sardine or pogey. Look for "weed-lines" and "clear" water.\n\nAnd for all those people who think we are fishing for "Dolphin's"; there is a fish called Mahi-Mahi, Dorado, and "dolphin". We are not fishing for "mammal" type "dolphin".

He owns one - it is named Necker Island.  I saw it on a snorkeling tour of the reef off it, when I was in the British Virgin Islands.  At the time, it was renting for $10,000 a night - a little out of my league as I was there for a windsurfing regatta.\n\nPssst!  I also climbed onto his floating trampoline!  It was cool!

Hya luv, I was looking for this type of hol during this years summer......\n\nAnyway, we where advised to go to the Saturno Jupiter in Alcudia for all the reasons you state...all inc, loads of sun, facilities for the kids etc.............To cut 2 very expensive weeks short! It was an absolute sh.it hole (excuse my language) the rooms where dirty, the food disgusting, facilities -crap, the pools, all 5 dirty often with ST's and poo floating in them!\n\nDo not go there!!!\n\nOn a lighter note the year before we stayed at the Hotel Hawaii in Magaluff, we stayed half board but you could go all inc - food - fab, night entertainment - kids loved it, Kids day and pool entertainment - loved it, The whole hotel was spotless and the cost to go there was very reasonable!\n\nHope this helps!!!\nHappy hols

To those of you who are freaking out:\n\nMahi-mahi is also called dolphin, dolphin-fish, dorado [sea bream].\nOne of the most delectable fish in the sea, this fish bears no resemblance or relation to the marine mammal called dolphin or porpoise. The Hawaiian name mahi-mahi is used to prevent confusion. Mahi-mahi is a beautiful fish, blue and gold or green and gold, and is highly prized as a game fish. It is very easy to distinguish the male or 'bull' mahi-mahi by its blunt, almost squared-off head profile. \n\nTo answer the question:  http://www.catch-em-all.com/\nis a website you should check out, its a Florida Keys Charter Fishing guide.  Has contact numbers and everything.

lovely islands  so close to florida,that  a Palm Beach=rich lady  flew her dinner guests there for conch{ shell fish} and fresh fruit  dinner. \n \nA tourist location,  with many small and large hotels. \nYou can rent a moto bike and  try out different parts of the island,  the town is touristy and full  of stuff for  summer wear...  duty free  stuff ,too.\nSome local fishing boating,  scuba,  snorkelling and sailfish, plus other  water gadgets to play on.  \nNice caribbean music... even steel bands/ danceable.\n\nDo not, as a girl walk slowly, without your  man or you will be treated like white  lady  teachers on  their holidays.  \nteachersplus middle aged etc...\nThey are there, to practice sexual meetings and reports,  with darker coloured men- or women.  Sad...  but true. \n\n It is not necessary to go to  Africa.  The men are skilled, speak English, aggressive and expected to be used.... and paid....\notherwise  nice holiday spot. [ Only tainted by  body stuff.} \n food good, cool nights and  hot days... mostly sunny.Shortf light times from  Miami.

To me that sounds like BIG GAME Trolling for species such as "Marlin", "Sailfish", "Tuna" + Dorado (Dolphin Fish / Mahi Mahi), and the occasional shark. Also perhaps when fishing stationery for Tarpon.\nSo, basically larger tropical saltwater species.

Ive been told dingbat whatever that is , but in my heart i know i am an atlantic bottle nose dolphin, this is the longest i have stayed still for a longtime but in my heart i am ready to sail again\nI just dont know if i can. I realize thats a mammal but who s a caring its close enough. I would hate to think I am a landlocked broken winged Duck , that would suk rocks.

Best one I know of is gambling. People have a sickness for it. Sell bath-tub rubber ducks at $10.00 a pop. Each bearing their own number. Then at a designated date, drop them all off a bridge into a river. The first duck to pass say a 2-3 mile distance wins a decent token prize. 1st, second & 3rd place. Since it is NON-PROFIT, it should all be legal. Just make sure you have a net at the finish line, so as not to piss someone off about littering & rubber ducks washing everywhere. Don't forget to contact the Media, they love to cover events like this in-light of all the bad news on earth.

I lived in Belize for a few months in 2003. I was a free-lance sailor at the time and we stayed at Moho Caye (pronounce KEY), the ppl that were running the marina (Linda and Russ) had retired and sold their deli in FL and bought an RV to travel thru central America. Anyway, I talked to them quite a few times abt how they got there and basically in Belize you are encouraged to stay and build a business if you are an American retiree, but you MUST have money to put in the bank of Belize and it also helps a great deal to have an income from the states, like SSI or retirement payments.\n\n There are quite a few beautiful resorts there already (my friend was an insurance adjuster for F&G insurance and I got to go visit all of the resorts they insured for free!). Belize City is a cool place to visit but try to be careful, there is a lot of violence in the area. I would watch the local news at Chef Bob's (great place to go and eat) and there wasn't a day that went by that there wasn't a murder or serious crime. I am not saying it is a bad country, please don't get me wrong. I loved the ppl I met and had a great stay. But there are some very violent elements, it may have been more harsh to me because ppl don't get shot there, they get macheted. The crime rate may not be even as high as New Orleans (I lived THERE too!).\n\n Belmopan is the capital and it was beautiful. Peaceful and clean. There are more ppl in Belize City but Belmopan is where I would live if I moved there. It is a very well-laid out city. Anyway, leave me a message on my 360 page if you want more info. I loved Belize! As a matter of fact if the Real ID becomes a reality I plan on going back to sailing or at least go travelling in the less facist places once the USA (which I am TOTALLY PATRIOTIC about, but I want to protect my daughter from technological slavery) turns into a police state. Hope I don't sound like too much of a fruitloop!\n\nGood Luck!

I highly recommend the Big Island of Hawaii. The underwater lava formations make for some GREAT diving, it's kind of lick diving on some strange planet but underwater of course. Good visibility, Great wildlife, check it out! They also have a night time Manta Ray dive with hughe manta rays, there is nothing like it. Have fun.

There are a lot of urban myths, this could be one. Still it is possible that a social animal like dolphins may try to help a human in distress. I suspect that they would easily detect our panic with their hearing. I doubt that it is totally instinctive since there is no apparent value to the dolphin. It could be play. Have you seen the footage of killer whales tossing seal cubs around as toys? Unfortunately there are records of dolphin pods fighting each other.

I don't know about cheap, but we had our honeymoon at a Sandals resort, and there were several weddings everyday and they were gorgeous.  I think they take care of a lot of the details for you when you book with them, plus it being an all-inclusive, once you've paid for your trip and get there, you don't have to pay for any alcohol, scuba diving & water sports, food, even tips are already included.  They gave us a 40 pc dish set and $250 credit to use at the resort. We got couples massages, etc. Basically we didn't spend a cent when we got there, which is better than a cruise in that you don't have to whip out your credit card every time you want to get a coke.  It's also more relaxed, but there's a lot of stuff to do such as volleyball, entertainment.\n\nOur resort was in Jamaica, but there are many resorts on different islands, and they also own Beaches, which is the same package deal and resort, but it's not couples-only, it's families & singles too.\n\nSome of the people brought they're families with them. Maybe give 'em a call?
