Dolphin Quest Mission Statement and Company Values

Mission Statement

Everything Dolphin Quest does supports our mission statement:

To touch hearts and minds through fun, innovative experiences, that create a connection to nature, and a passion to learn more.

When people visit Dolphin Quest, they tell us that their experience makes them feel connected to our dolphins, other marine life, and our ocean. This connection becomes a powerful force inspiring our guests to make choices in their own lives to protect dolphins and the health of our ocean, upon which all life depends.
