Start your day with an unforgettable experience—a free swim with the resident dolphins at Anthony’s Key. These dolphins are part of a research program and, yes, they are in human care. For those concerned, rest assured, these dolphins often participate in open water dive training and always return home, even when they have the option to leave.
