We had the experience with trainers Megan and Warrick and dolphin Alice. It was the best family experience we’ve ever had. It was the perfect balance of informative and fun. We loved finding out so much about the dolphins and their lives at the Atlantis. We got to ask so many questions, maybe too many! We also visited the dolphin show and that was equally as amazing. 10/10 experience from us! From the Barker’s

Our visit to Dolphin Bay at Aquaventure was nothing short of magical. It was an experience that left us with so much admiration, gratitude, and respect for the incredible work being done there. We had the privilege of meeting the beautiful dolphin, Alice, along with her primary trainer, Warrick. Watching the bond they share was truly heartwarming. The trust, affection, and understanding between them were so genuine that it was impossible not to be moved. You can see that Alice isn’t just cared for—she is deeply loved. Warrick and Glen took the time to share so much about Alice and the incredible care every dolphin receives. Learning that each dolphin has a dedicated primary trainer, supported by a team of three to four other trainers, was fascinating. Every aspect of their wellbeing is thoughtfully planned—from specialised diets tailored to their age and weight to enrichment activities that make every single day engaging and fulfilling. Even the pairing of each trainer with their marine mammal is carefully considered based on their personalities and compatibility, creating relationships built on trust and mutual respect. What made this experience even more meaningful was learning that the dolphins at Dolphin Bay are rescued and not bred at the facility. Knowing they have been given a safe, loving home made the experience all the more humbling and inspiring. Thank you, Warrick and Glen, for your passion, kindness, and for taking the time to share what goes into caring for these beautiful marine mammals every single day. Your dedication shines through in everything you do, and it is reflected in the happiness and confidence of the animals in your care. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting Dolphin Bay. It is so much more than a dolphin encounter—it is an opportunity to witness the extraordinary bond between humans and animals and to leave with a deeper appreciation for the love, commitment, and conservation efforts that make this place so special.

We had a really fantastic experience at Dolphin bay. We brought our 2 kids as a big treat during our holiday and they absolutely loved it. Amira the dolphin and Manu the guide were amazing. Manu taught the kids lots of lovely simple facts about dolphins and we got to see them in action up close. Super trip and highly recommended.

Visiting the dolphins was an unforgettable experience. Seeing these beautiful and intelligent animals up close was truly special. The staff was friendly, professional, and clearly cared about the dolphins’ well-being. The facilities were clean and well-organized, and the educational information made the visit even more interesting. The staff were Keish, Adrián and Werrick. One of them also speak Portuguese, so i was very happy, because my friend didnt speak english, and he could help speaking also Portuguese. The dolplhin Maui was very well trained.

Our experience swimming with dolphins at Aquaventure World was magical truly one of the most unforgettable adventures we’ve ever had! From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized and welcoming. A special thank you to our host, Ashley, who made us feel comfortable, excited, and well-prepared for what was about to be an incredible encounter. Her warmth and professionalism set the tone for the entire experience! 😊 Meeting Lisa the dolphin was absolutely breathtaking. She is intelligent, gentle, and full of personality - it felt like we were connecting with such a special and beautiful creature. Watching her interact with us and respond so playfully was simply mesmerizing. A huge highlight of our visit was working with Trainer Shazir. His passion, knowledge, and connection with Lisa were truly inspiring. He shared so many fascinating facts about dolphins, their behavior, and how they are cared for. It wasn’t just fun - it was also incredibly educational. Both my son and I learned so much, and it made the experience even more meaningful. The entire activity was perfectly balanced between excitement, learning, and pure joy. Swimming alongside Lisa, interacting with her, and seeing my son’s face light up with happiness is a memory I will treasure forever. It was heartwarming, thrilling, and deeply special all at once. This experience exceeded all expectations. It’s not just an activity - it’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that creates lasting memories for both children and adults. We left feeling inspired, grateful, and full of эмоции that are hard to put into words. If you’re considering it - don’t hesitate. It is absolutely worth it. Thank you to the amazing team, especially Ashley, Lisa, and Shazir, for making our day so extraordinary! Better to in the morning or at Monday, there is not so many people.

An Unforgettable Family Adventure at Aquaventure Dolphin Experience! Our family of four had the most incredible day at the Dolphin Experience today. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, turning a simple excursion into a truly "special" memory that we will cherish forever. The A-Team of Trainers We cannot say enough about the staff. Glen, Manu, Bimiso, and Perlina provided us with expert attention from start to finish. Their passion for what they do is evident, and they ensured every member of our family felt safe, engaged, and included throughout the entire session. Meeting the Stars: Black, Lisa, and Michael The highlight, of course, was getting to know the beautiful dolphin family. Spending time with Black, Lisa, and the adorable baby Michael was a dream come true. It wasn't just about the interaction; we actually learned so much about their biology, social structures, and conservation. Magic Moments Getting to perform tricks with these intelligent creatures was exhilarating! The trainers did a fantastic job of bridging the gap between humans and dolphins, allowing us to interact in a way that felt respectful and deeply personal. The Verdict If you are in Dubai, this is a must-do. Whether you're a local or a tourist, the team at Aquaventure provides a world-class experience that is educational, heartwarming, and pure fun!

We absolutely loved the experience of interacting with the dolphins! The only thing that surprised us was the price of the photos. We paid 77 euros for two pictures, which felt quite expensive. The photos can be printed and are also available in digital format, which is convenient, but the price was still unexpected. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, especially for our child, and we will remember it for a long time.

Our dolphin encounter an swimming experience was truly breathtaking. We went with the whole family including a 4 year old and teen girls. Well organized admin part, our host Rose‘s briefing was crystal clear and straight to the point. The trainers Shazir, Giulia, Adrion and Sav were super entertaining while at the same time truly caring about their dolphins. S2, Kai and their trainers delivered an incredible show and getting close to these beautiful creatures was an experience we‘ll never forget.

An absolutely unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, our host Kaushik made us feel so welcome and at ease. His warmth and professionalism set the tone for what became one of the most incredible experiences of my life. The 30-minute swim with dolphins was truly magical. I was genuinely emotional — being in the water with Centrol was something I will never forget. Centrol was so gentle, calm, and kind, and you could feel the deep trust and connection between the dolphin and the trainers. A huge thank you to the amazing trainers Happy and Joshua. Their care, knowledge, and obvious love for Centrol shone through every moment. They made the experience feel safe, respectful, and incredibly special, while also sharing so much insight about these beautiful animals. This was hands down one of the best things I have ever done in my life. If you are considering it — do it. I will treasure this experience forever.
