Play with dolphins
At Dolphin Bay, you'll experience the magic of interacting with dolphins in the stunning lagoon. Whether you’re standing waist-deep for an up-close encounter or standing by the poolside, each option offers something special. Say hello to Alice, the gentle and independent dolphin, or enjoy a laugh with Naji, the mischievous youngster who loves to steal toys! Cathy, the caring peacekeeper, might even join you for a relaxing paddleboard experience, while Lennox, the cheeky dolphin, could be right there for a swim. You’ll gain fascinating insights into their unique behaviors and personalities as the marine mammal specialists guide you through this experience. You might even enjoy kayaking through the lagoon, where you can meet them up close as they swim alongside your kayak.
Excitement at Aquaventure
Once you’ve bonded with the dolphins, it’s time for an action-packed splash at Aquaventure! Brace yourself for rides like the Hydra Racer, where you’ll race your friends down a series of high-speed lanes. Feel the rush of the Slitherine slide as you twist and turn through a serpentine journey or experience the heart-pounding Plunge, with a near-vertical drop. For a truly epic ride, take on the Falls, a massive water slide that leaves you drenched and exhilarated. If you want something more relaxing, float along the Lazy River, taking in the stunning surroundings of Atlantis while you unwind.
