What’s It Like to Be a Dolphin Trainer?

By Dolphin Quest

Over the years, many people have contacted Dolphin Quest curious about what it takes to become a dolphin trainer and what it’s like to work with these amazing marine mammals up-close. Now dolphin lovers, as well as those considering a career in the marine mammal field, can work alongside Dolphin Quest’s professional training team, learning what it takes to be a trainer and having tons of fun doing it.

Dolphin Quest, located at the National Museum of Bermuda, offers guests the opportunity to get nose-to-nose with bottlenose dolphins in fun and fascinating dolphin swims. Those interested in the ultimate experience with the dolphins can even become a “Trainer for a Day” or a “Trainer for a Week” and enjoy working, swimming and playing with their new dolphin friends as they see firsthand why Dolphin Quest dolphins are so beloved. Swimming alongside the dolphins, sitting on the docks to feed and train them, guests enjoy hours or even days discovering the important and sometimes challenging work of the dolphin trainer.

The training mentorship programmes start in the Fish Kitchen, where guests help prepare the dolphins’ food for the day. Next, it’s off to help the trainers give the dolphins their daily health checkups. Guests will get to know all the Dolphin Quest trainers and hear the stories of how they found their dream jobs and careers. Guests will also experience incredible dolphin encounters as trainers and programme participants. They will also learn through hands-on instruction how the Dolphin Quest trainers use positive rewards and affection to create close relationships and trusting bonds with the dolphins. In the “Trainer for a Week” programme, each day’s lessons build on the skills learned and mastered the day before, making every new day incredibly fun and exciting.

Any of Dolphin Quest’s dolphin interactive programmes is sure to touch the hearts and minds of guests, and the “Trainer for a Day” and “Trainer for a Week” programmes are the ultimate dolphin adventures. For more information about Dolphin Quest and its dolphin interactive programmes, visit www.dolphinquest.com or call 234-4464. Availability is limited and advance reservations are strongly recommended.
