Earn your 15 hours of RACE approved credits in Veterinary Medicine while enjoying a beach vacation at the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas. The Atlantis is known as the water playground of the Bahamas. You can swim with dolphins and enjoy all the water activities.

Atlantis is the largest water playground in the Bahamas. You can swim with the dolphins; sun up with the sea lions; dip and discover the largest water park in the Eastern Hemisphere; explore Nassau; win in the casino; and, enjoy every water and sunshine activity the Bahamas offers!

Families who are into marine attractions will enjoy this sprawling oceanfront resort on Nassau. It’s technically not a “true” all-inclusive, but you can add dining plans to your room rate to customize your vacation. Here’s what’s included in the resort fee: the 154-acre Aquaventure waterpark, the Dig aquarium, and an open-air Marine Habitat home to lagoons containing more than 250 marine species. You and your kids can slip down Aquaventure water slides, which afford views of sharks and other marine life. In Dolphins Cay, a rescue and rehabilitation facility, you can learn about dolphins and sea lions. There are several interactive marine programs available for an additional fee.
