Incredible Experience

My husband and I had an amazing experience snorkeling with the dolphins here! We were able to spend 30 minutes with them which was an incredible amount of time to feel like we really were able to interact closely with them. The trainer was amazing and made sure that all of us in the water got our share of dolphin time. She also had them perform some tricks for us while we were in the water that were just spectacular. I will never forget this very special day interacting with these extraordinary creatures.

One of the best days of my life

One of the most awesome experiences on my 75 year old life. I just turned 75 and my young friend, whose birthday was on Nov 4, said we should do this. Do it with your family, with your bestie, with your lover or a stanger. You will not regret it. The staff was amazing with the dolphins and yes with us. You feel like you enters a loving families water living room. I promise, you will not regret it! Randy

Delay on communication

We are from the US and visited Dolphin Academy and were told that the dolphin training demonstation was included. We booked the 11 o’clock time slot. When we arrived around 10:30, and were informed that the Dolphin Swin will start earlier. We were not informed in advanced about this change. My 10-year-old daughter was very excited to see the show, but we missed it. We had other plans and were not able to stay for the next show. The next day we had plans to visit Klein Curaçao, and the following day we were scheduled to leave. Not funny at all

Great experience

I was initially scared to do this activity because I don't know how to swim. The instructor made me feel very comfortable in the water. It was very informational and the Dolphin was very friendly. I had a great time! I would do this again.
