Dolphin Encounters

Swim with the dolphins or enjoy an encounter at nearby Atlantis Dolphin Cay or Blue Lagoon Island.

Experience an unforgettable dolphin adventure at two premier locations near Paradise Island: Atlantis Dolphin Cay and Blue Lagoon Island’s Dolphin Encounters. At Atlantis Dolphin Cay, one of the world’s largest open-air marine mammal habitats, you can snorkel alongside dolphins in a deep-water lagoon, enjoy playful rides such as being pulled on a boogie board, or participate in interactive programs that combine education and fun—all set within a stunning 14-acre marine environment.

Alternatively, Blue Lagoon Island offers a natural seawater habitat where you can stand waist-deep on a floating platform to hug, dance, and interact closely with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins in crystal-clear waters. This family-owned facility also features sea lion encounters, stingray experiences, and access to secluded beaches, providing a full day of marine wildlife immersion. The island is accessible only by boat, adding to the exclusive feel of the experience.

Both locations provide professional, conservation-focused encounters that create lasting memories while supporting marine education and animal care. Whether you prefer the thrill of swimming with dolphins at Atlantis or the intimate, natural setting of Blue Lagoon Island, these dolphin experiences promise a one-of-a-kind connection with these incredible creatures in the heart of the Bahamas.
