The Dolphin Encounter offers an up close and personal opportunity for guests of all ages to meet these incredible mammals in the safety and comfort of waist deep water. Although not a swim program, guests will have an opportunity to stroke, hug and even dance a quick meringue with our people-loving dolphins while posing for some once-in-a-lifetime photos!

This interactive program enables participants to stand comfortably on a platform, approximately three feet below the water, and experience the magic of the dolphin world. While gentle animal trainers supervise, guests and dolphins will share kisses, hugs, and "dances." Participants have the chance to touch the dolphins' smooth, rubbery skin and feed their new friends some fishy treats.

Admission to Ocean World is included when you book this interactive program.
