Pro tips to help you make a pick
Children must be 4 years and older in order to participate in the Encounter and Discovery programs.
Peak season between June to August is a good time to visit the attraction, given the sunny weather conditions. But be sure to book your tickets in advance since tickets to most attractions, including Dolphin Island, tend to sell out quick during this time.
Unforeseen weather like sudden storms can lead to the programs being cancelled or postponed. As a rule of thumb, always check the weather for the day before you book your tickets, to avoid disappointment.
