Timothy & Kortnie

Dolphin Cay is an extraordinary, 14-acre dolphin and sea lion habitat that invites guests to interact in a way that leaves a lifelong impression. We can choose from several very exciting programs like a shallow water interaction where we can touch, hug and kiss a friendly dolphin, or a deep water swim where we can get a foot push across the lagoon and swim alongside a dolphin with a personal water scooter. We can discover the playful antics of a friendly sea lion and learn about the care for these spectacular sea animals with the Sea Lion Interaction or the Sea Lion behind the Scenes experience.

On our romantic honeymoon we will charter a yacht and spend the day cruising the azure waters of the Bahamas. International Yacht Collection gives us the opportunity to enjoy exclusive water sports, snorkeling, island style lunches and other activities. Thanks to your wonderful wedding gift, we will enjoy a perfect honeymoon day in paradise!

No matter where we dine, we are sure to not be at a loss for selection.

On our honeymoon, we will want to do a little shopping so we can bring a piece of Paradise Island home with us. We will browse around the shops and boutiques in search of honeymoon keepsakes.
