Over
Korte feiten: More than 25 Atlantic bottlenose dolphins live in the protected lagoon here, where the water stays around 78°F year-round. Guests can kiss, hug, and even dance belly-to-belly with these intelligent mammals during the 45-minute interactive sessions.
Hoogtepunten: The facility sits inside a natural mangrove lagoon with crystal-clear Caribbean water, creating a peaceful sanctuary far from crowded tourist piers. Unlike concrete tank facilities, the dolphins glide through channels lined with mangroves where wild tropical fish sometimes swim alongside guests.
Insidertips
- Apply reef-safe sunscreen at least 30 minutes before your session, dolphins have sensitive skin and eyes.
- Bring a dry bag for your valuables, lockers fill up fast during peak season from December to April.
- Skip the on-site restaurant and walk 5 minutes up the road to Playa Norte for better tacos at half the price.
- Wear a secure swimsuit with a tight strap, the dolphin pushes create serious water force that can pull off loose tops.
