Dolphin encounter — Dolphin Bay (Atlantis)

Three formats cover different levels of involvement: meeting the dolphins dry from a platform, going into the water waist-deep, and swimming in deep water. All take place in the seawater lagoons of Dolphin Bay, supervised by the keepers.

The session starts with an indoor briefing on dolphin biology, how they live and the rules to follow. A keeper then guides the whole thing: introducing the animal, periods of observation, which gestures are allowed, moments where the dolphin comes over to greet you or perform a characteristic movement. Groups stay small so everyone gets real time with the animal. Wetsuit provided.

Three experiences are available. Dolphin Meet & Greet: meeting the dolphins from the edge, without entering the water — the most accessible format. Dolphin Encounter: interaction with the dolphins in shallow water, with no need to be a strong swimmer. Dolphin Swim: the most immersive, swimming in deep water alongside the dolphins; you need to be able to swim and be comfortable in the water.

Good to know: Meet & Greet is open to all ages; Dolphin Encounter suits different swimming abilities; Dolphin Swim is from age 6 and reserved for confident swimmers. For under-12s, a participating, paying adult of at least 18 must accompany the child. Dolphin Swim is not open to pregnant women. The equipment needed is provided according to the experience chosen. Same-day access to Aquaventure Waterpark is included with the dolphin experiences, subject to the ticket's conditions. Photos are available as an extra depending on the format.
