Coral World Observatory Tower — Attraction in United States Virgin Islands

My wife and I loved the 30-minute long dolphin immersion experience. Just 3 weeks old, the dolphin exhibition is a welcome addition. Our group consisted of six people: a family of four and my wife and I. We were able to interact directly with the dolphins under the supervision of skillful professional staff. Photographs are prohibited; but are available for purchase from Wes the helpful sharp-eyed staff photographer.
