We fed the flamingos, fed the stingrays and did the dolphin encounter (which has been on my bucket list forever). The staff was absolutely amazing and so helpful! We loved every minute and definitely learned quite a few interesting facts. It was worth every penny and I highly recommend going!!! Thank you so much to everyone today that made this Canadians experience truly unforgettable! ❤️

This was a dream come true. It was a birthday gift from my mom for my 18th birthday. I took the 8:30 slot and I would recommend that time since it was not very crowded. It was myself and a couple with two dolphins. I mostly had one dolphin all to myself which was really cool. My two instructors while I wish I had their names were an absolute joy to work with. I cannot stress how friendly, kind and just absolutely amazing their staff was to me. I was afraid of not being able to hold up in the water even though I am an experienced swimmer so the instructor advised me to go in the water and test it out and they would keep the life vest at hand, just incase I wanna you it, by which I did. The dolphins were soo gentle and sweet and the experience with them was unlike anything and one I recommended everyone to do. I did the dolphin swim and don’t regret it one bit. Afterwards I purchased all my photos for $40 and a frame for $5. Overall, it is an experience of a lifetime and one I would cherish for the future days to come. I would love to do it again and once again all props go to Dolphin Academy Curaçao for such an amazing experience. Before I go, one final tip would be to book online and fill out the waiver form online, it’s quicker and faster when you do that so you go straight into the briefing and dolphin swim

This is my second time to the Dolphin Academy, it is always so much fun to learn about and swim with the dolphins. I did snorkeling both times and I would warn that you should be able to tread water / swim for 30 minutes straight, as it gets tiring diving down with the dolphins after a while. The dolphins are very well trained and do great tricks. The trainers are very knowledgable about the dolphins and speak many languages; it is clear they care for the dolphins well.

The entire experience was wonderful. We did the dolphin swim, which was so beautiful!! Annie is the best dolphin ever!!! Every Aquarium employee we with whom we interacted was friendly, knowledgeable and kind. The entire set up is well done and educational. Loved it!!

I had the unique opportunity to visit the Dolphin Academy during my Caribbean cruise. I had researched the academy on the internet and found the conditions for the animals to be as described on the internet. At no time did I feel that the animals were being forced to do anything. On the contrary, they had fun and played. As described, 6 people share two dolphins and interact with the animals for about 30 minutes. A trainer is always present to make sure that each guest follows the instructions given beforehand for the animals' well-being. A big compliment to trainer Noel. I can say for myself that it was one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life and can only recommend it. Keep up the good work Dolphin Academy!

My husband and I really enjoyed our visit (except the cost of taxi ride for 2!). We’ve been going to the Gulfarium in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida for over 35 years and love dolphins! Being able to interact with the dolphins (we did the dolphin encounter) was so much fun. It was our splurge and worth it. Price of digital photos (as others mentioned) was pretty high but glad we bought them.

We signed up for the Dolphin encounter from our cruise ship. It was fabulous! The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was obvious how much they all loved working with these amazing animals. We got to spend so much time actually petting the dolphins. Then, when we were done with the encounter, I went to the front desk to inquiry about the swim and there was an opening. This was even more exciting and a pure dream for me. Thrilling beyond belief. Many others had done dolphin swims before at other locals. At first they bemoaned the fact that the academy does not do a fin swim. But after all was said done, they felt this swim was the ultimate best because of the time we got to spend in contact with the dolphins. And we all appreciated that the health of these incredible creatures was thought of before entertainment and profit.

So much fun! Swimming with dolphins in a sea lagoon is so much better than a landlocked tank. Dolphins are so well respected and taken care of, spent quality time interacting at their desire. Our trainer Noel was a hoot. Fantastic experience!!

Wow, we had such an amazing experience! We did the dolphin encounter at the end of January 2024, and it was incredible. I've done a full dolphin swim somewhere else that wasn't as much fun because it was a big group and we only got a little time with the dolphins. But here, we were on a platform with just four people, on dolphin, and one trainer for a good 20 minutes. We got to pet the dolphin all over, get a kiss and a handshake, and be thoroughly splashed! Giving a dolphin a bellyrub is a fantastic experience. Big kudos to the park and the staff for a well-run experience.

My son and I had a fantastic experience swimming with the dolphins at the Dolphins Academy Curaçao Sea Aquarium. It was probably the best dolphins swim experience we ever had. We were in the water for about 45 min. The dolphins trainers did their very best to get the perfect photo shots with the dolphins and we ended up buying the full dolphins photos package from them. They also did their best to get the dolphins to play and interact with us. The dolphins are healthy and appear to enjoy their session with us. We were in a group of 4 people per dolphin. The costs were very reasonable and fair. We would go back to swim with the dolphins again at Curaçao Sea Aquarium again next time we visit the island in the future. Highly recommend the Dolphins Academy Curaçao.
