Dolphin Bay at Atlantis The Palm

Our Guide to Dolphin Bay at Atlantis The Palm

The incredible resort destination of Atlantis, The Palm holds countless secrets for a visitor to discover but no corner of the resort holds quite the same fascination as the gentle residents at Dolphin Bay. Here there are three vast lagoons where you can meet and play with beautiful Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins during a shallow water or deep water interaction. Accompanied by a qualified marine mammal specialist, enjoy an up-close experience as you touch, hug and even kiss these charismatic and graceful creatures. As an added bonus every interaction includes complimentary same day access to the legendary Aquaventure waterpark and pristine beach with panoramic views of Dubai’s stunning skyline.

There is a choice of two dolphin experiences at Dolphin Bay, both including 30-minutes in the water with the Dolphins:

• Dolphin Encounter Shallow Water Interaction: Wade into waist high water for a magical dolphin encounter which includes the chance to kiss, hug, touch, pet, dance and play with one of the beautiful dolphins and watch some high energy behaviours. Groups are limited to just 10 guests per dolphin.
• Dolphin Adventure Deep Water Interaction: Join the dolphins in the deeper waters of the beautiful lagoons for an intimate experience. The signature belly-ride delivers you back to shore, guaranteeing you the most memorable ride of your life as your dolphin shows off his speed and agility. This programme is designed for confident swimmers who want to enjoy the thrill of swimming with these amazing animals. Groups are limited to just 6 persons per dolphin.
