We went with our two children, 7 and 5 years old. My 7 year old son did the foot push and dorsal fin ride but my daughter opted out. She still got plenty of time and interaction with them. Did the half day AM and it was perfect. A full 90 minutes with dolphins and tons of interaction. The trainers... More

My wife and I were on our honeymoon. Amazing experience, one we'll never forget. Make sure to bring extra cash $100+ so you can buy pictures. Pictures are the expensive part, you can wheel and deal "a little" to get them to come down. I think 3 pics for $69, we got them to give us 6 pictures. More

We used part of our resort credits at Aventura Spa Palace to swim with the dolphins. It was so worth it & so amazing! Would do it a hundred times over if I could! More

Dolphinaris was a great time. I can't argue with people's opinions of the cost of pictures, as we weren't willing to part with $30 for a single photo. I might have been more willing if they sold us more on the fact that this money would be going to the dolphins etc. I also think that it might have been... More

Don't let what the place looks like make you pay to watch more video's than actually swimming with the dolphins... Your there for 4 to 5 hours and only get about 45 min to 1 hr with the dolphins and most of that time is just the trainer making the dolphin go back and forth in front of you. The... More

We went to Dolphinaris for a half day. It was brilliant. The dolphins were beautiful and the pools were clean and the staff friendly. The only negative part was how expensive the photo and video package was. More
