the experience for my 5yr old son and i is great. though we went on a very windy and chilly day but we really had fun interacting with the dolphin named S2 and the instructors r very helpful. its a very good experience but very pricey

If you have dreamed of swimming with the dolphins, it doesn't get much easier. You can book a dolphin swim or encounter depending on the action level you would like to have. The dolphin encounter was a fun and fabulous experience for the family.

This was a surprise treat from my daughter for myself and other daughter, we were visiting her in Dubai. It was a wonderful experience, we were given some general knowledge on dolphins which was informative but not too much to get bored, they are very careful to ensure that no foreign objects can get into the water with the dolphins...

We tried the Dolphin Encounter. Recommend you book this in advance of your stay as they sell out fast. On arrival you are asked to change into wet suits, these are better then vests as it covers most of your body as the pool is slightly colder temperature. No loose items can be worn, e.g. Watches, hair bands etc. however... More

I went here for Valentines day with my girlfriend and we had an amazing, very memorable time. The price is what it is - bordering on insanity, however you do get what you pay for. We choose to do the scuba diving and wow was it great. There are a number of other dolphin experiences, however if you are scuba... More

I have always wanted to swim with dolphins so really could not wait to get to Dolphin Bay. It was quite expensive but not something that you would do everyday. The dolphins were lovely and is was surprisingly emotional to interact with one. I was a bit taken back to find out that the lagoon is a man made concrete... More

I know it's a bit pricy... but I found it to be worth it. I can't remember the different packages that are available but we were in a small group and got a chance to swim with the dolphin, kiss him and watch him do tricks. We bought the photos from the Bay but I believe you have the option... More
