Dolphin Encounters

4 months ago

Awesome island to visit. Great experience swimming with the sharks. Very large lunch buffet, amd lots of tables for eating. Plenty of beach chairs (for free) and lots of beach to hang out. Good washrooms, and rinse stations available. Very clean The tour timing gives you lots of time to do your experience, enjoy the beach, and have lunch. Great overall value. My advice would be to buy your experience photos online, and skip the line on the island, so you can enjoy the beach and the good weather. We bought our photos online and had no issues, but it was better to use a laptop instead of a phone.

An absolute amazing experience! I 10/10 recommend and would do this again! Booked through our cruise excursion options. We had Bryant as our guide/trainer. He was absolutely hilarious and informative about the dolphins.

The encounter was with the money! Getting to experience these mammals up close, dance with them, hug them, kiss them and have such a fun time! The tickets included lunch and the ferry ride to and from Paradise island, Nassau to Blue Lagoon Island. The water was clean, facilities were hygienic and dolphins were treated well. We were asked to bring towels but you can purchase towels there too. We got our water shoes but you really don't need them for this experience. We had loads of photos clicked by the team out there and we could choose which one's we wanted to get digital copies for. The experience was 1 hour in total. Definitely book in advance, especially if you're going in December, January or February.

Made some memories for life at the dolphin experience. This is a great day out for a family which starts with a boat ride to the beautiful blue lagoon island. The dolphin experience is around 30 minutes and there is a lot of touching and close up time with a really beautiful creature. Our 6 year old was in awe and took part in the dolphin dance and gave it a hug and a kiss too! I'd say that's the youngest age for it though as she was a little apprehensive at the start. Afterwards you relax on the beach, grab some free lunch and you can buy a drink from the bar if you like before taking the boat ride back to paradise island in the early afternoon. We paid $109 for photos and they were emailed over a couple of hours after leaving. Overall an amazing experience and definitely worth the money.

They rescheduled us for the last group of the day, which put us after our cruise was leaving. The boat was held up for us. You are transported on a water taxi, see picture do if the weather is bad, be prepared. On landing, there is a very long walk to the meal area, not suitable for the handicapped or persons on crutches or severe medical conditions. Very unsuitable. Drinks included in the buffet meal are juices only. Water, soda, alcohol are served at a separate drink bar for a fee. The bathroom you pass on the long walk is the bathroom for the meal area too. It is not handicapped equipped...though they say so. Mini Hermit crabs inhabit much of the island, look for them in the grass in front of the restroom. If you have an armband it will have the time of your dolphin show written on it. Go further to the next set of buildings and down the left pier to the exibit. Be early. Be in your swim suit. You will be getting onto a wet sunken bench where the trained dolphin will hug, kiss and spit on you. When directed, you ca touch and hug the porpoise. Note your exit time on the signs on the way in, and dont be late, boats are often full and later may not have room. Ride back takes you to pier entrance through the tourist area....not directly to your ship. Plan some time to get back. Dont miss your ship. Although we got rude responses from the staff when we first asked questions, they always made up for it in a few minutes trying to accommodate needs. Picture with blue canopy is the show area where you sit with the porpoises. The show is good, the scheduling, logistics, signage and communication are less than adequate.
