I bought the shallow water experience for my partner as a birthday present and we both had a fantastic time. The experience involves first checking in at the entrance of the Atlantis, then walking/buggying your way across the water park to Dolphin Bay. You then go through a series of check-ins, are given a locker and a choice of vest... More

I must admit there is something about grabbing the fins of 2 dolphins as they pull you across the water. Its absolutely amazing. The staff was very helpful, and they were extremely energetic! They seem super pumped for what they do. There is no downfall to this experience. I suggest anyone that has a love for animals get a chance... More

I swam with dolphins a couple of years ago in mexico and absolutely loved it and have always wanted my girlfriend to experience it. So on our honeymoon as a treat we decided that we would both book a royal swim at dolphin bay. Although initially the price is quite steep (about £165 each, for 30 minutes) after we done... More

This is great even if your a non swimmer, you stand or kneel in waist high water. This is a must for anyone who wants to get up close to some amazing creatures. You can dance with them, throw a ball or a ring and its 30 minutes of pure enjoyment.

My 5 year old absolutely loved the Dolphin interaction - we had much more exposure to the dolphins than I would have expected. The trainers were excellent and the whole experience left me with a big smile on my face! I would recommend this to anyone (unless you have a dolphin or water phobia)!
