Description

During the Dolphin Encounter You'll stand waist-deep in water on a platform to interact with the dolphins. The trainer will explain how to communicate with the dolphin using hand signals. You'll learn all sorts of amazing things about this fascinating animal! The dolphin will lie down calmly on the platform so you can pet it. Thanks to the small groups of no more than six people, the Dolphin Encounter has a very intimate feel. Your time in the water is approximately 20 minutes. The entire experience lasts about 1.5 hours. The perfect experience for all ages!

Tip: Would you like to meet the dolphins swimming in the water (ages 8 and up)? Then book a ticket for Swimming with Dolphins

We had a dolphin encounter. It was so much fun. We stood on a platform in the water for half an hour and received the necessary explanation and were able to ask questions. A fantastic experience.
