Dolphin Experience
Dolphin Experience
During the dolphin experience, which is an important part of our therapy-concept, the family members, caregivers have the unique opportunity to experience what the therapy patient experiences in the water with the dolphin. We feel that this is tremendously important, because the family members can experience for themselves how close the contact with the dolphin is and gain a clearer understanding of what the experience is like in the eyes of the patient.
Every effort will be made to conduct the dolphin swim with the same dolphin that participates in the patient’s therapy program. However, taking the well-being of our dolphins into consideration, we can offer this dolphin swim to a maximum of 3 people per dolphin.
A photographer will be present to capture all the magical memories.
