Dolphin Encounter

Learn all about the world of the Pacific Bottlenose dolphin from the best possible teachers - the dolphins themselves. Designed for the curious of any age or swim ability, our Dolphin Encounters program will get you closely acquainted with our friendly family of dolphins in the comfort and safety of our specially designed shallow platforms.

A personal introduction

Both educational and fun, our resident Dolphin experts kick things off with a personal introduction to the dolphins, helping you understand more about their wonderful anatomy, physiology, history and fascinating underwater communication techniques.

Get close

Then, under the watchful eye of our expert staff, it's straight into the water, getting to know these dolphins up-close. Gently rub their smooth skin, feed them their favorite treats, and learn special training signals to talk to them before they say goodbye with a friendly hand shake. If you're really lucky, you might even get a big fishy kiss on the cheek.

The bond

Dolphins are just as curious about us as we are about them and the strong bond they've created with our trainers ensures everyone will feel the warmth and intelligence of the ocean's friendliest creatures. As always, we keep group sizes small so you can make the most of this unforgettable opportunity to interact with the ocean's most curious beloved creature.
