Although we only booked entry, we decided at short notice to swim with the dolphins. It was a great experience. If you can find a shortcoming, it is that some groups do more things than others, since some groups work with 1 dolphin and some with 2. But the experience is still unique

We came with our kids and had the most amazing time with the dolphins, beyond our expectations! the staff is super friendly and welcoming, the trainers Jose and Rafael are very experienced and put a lot of efforts to make an unforgettable experience for all of us

Had a fantastic day. The staff and trainers are very friendly and helpful. Pictures were a bit pricey but worth it

It was great! They even let us do something extra with the dolphins that wasn’t included in our package.

Super well done, very pleasant and respectful of animals.
