Put a big tick on the bucket list with a visit to Dolphin Explorer Park. You'll get to interact or swim with dolphins. And with a range of experiences to choose from, you decide just how close you'll get to the world's friendliest sea creatures.

Swimming with dolphins is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Dolphin Explorer Park brings you up close and personal to these fascinating, friendly mammals. You'll get the chance to see the dolphin trainers at work before your choice of a dolphin encounter or swim. With three packages on offer, you'll choose exactly what experience you'll tick off the bucket list.

Take your pick of these fantastic options:

Funtastic – 40-min dolphin encounter, 20 guests per group, 1 dolphin
Explorer – 50-min dolphin swim, 12 guests per group, 1 dolphin
Excellence – 60-min dolphin swim, 10 guests per group, 2 dolphins

TUI should provide more information regarding journey times etc we have neurodivergent teenagers who require preparation for changes

It felt a bit rushed with the seal and they only took one picture which for most people in our group did not turn out very well. Oddly enough… I only did the excursion for the seal, which is probably not the norm. The dolphins were great and seemed really happy doing their tricks with us. The trainers seemed to really enjoy their time with the animals and I loved that. I wish we could have taken some of our own pics since the seal pics turned out so bad, but overall we loved it!

It’s a shame all they wanted to do was sell you photos as soon as you arrived it starts - I wouldn’t mind but the quality was not good,out of our photos 2 were good and they wanted $210 and wouldn’t let me buy them separately!! When you get to the dolphin the pools are small and murky which makes you feel bad about how they are kept!!

Some parts were missing from the dolphins body they were swimming backwards as well

Las fotos deberian ser un poco mas economicas

Was with a person with mobility issues and nobody assisted also did not speak to us in English also didn’t get the package that we were supposed to but TUI rep sorted it with a refund to my person with mobility as she could not participate and partial refund to me
