“niceshow. but the speaker and mc lady, I didnt understand nothing, so for me better would be if się will not talk at all and just music play”
Watch Dubai’s first and only dolphin and seal show, then see parrots, falcons, toucans, and other birds perform tricks. Choose standard or VIP seating, exchange your voucher at Creek Park Gate 1, and remember the AED 5 park entry fee is separate.
“Asiff Abbas was our tour, such a lovely man very well taking care of from pick up to drop off. A wonderful afternoon spent with Asiff, the quads, camels and bashing was brilliant highly recommend great value for money”
Enter Aqualand Costa Adeje for a full day of water rides, children’s splash areas, the Lava River, heated pools, and an included dolphin show. You can tackle Kamikazes and Cyclones, relax in the Vulcano Spa, or let younger children play at Isla Pirata and Puerto Pirata. Parking is included, but food and lockers cost extra.
“Four generations went today and we all had a fantastic time, loved the dolphins”
Cruise from Lowcountry Watersports through Broad Creek and Calibogue Sound with a licensed captain and English-speaking guide. Look for bottlenose dolphins, pass Harbour Town Lighthouse and Daufuskie Island, then watch the sunset and a 10-minute fireworks show from the water. Wendy and Kate may be among your guides.
“Boat was overcrowded and a low boat so whenever the captain sped up, we were doused with water. On a day tour where you’re speeding about you expect to get wet, but not on a sunset cruise to see dolphins and fireworks. Also no notice that there were no snacks drinks or BATHROOM on board. They should have told us this when we checked in an hour before cruise time.”
You’ll watch dolphins leap, seals balance and play, and trainers explain marine life at Sealanya Dolphinpark. Choose hotel pickup in Alanya or meet at the entrance. The show lasts about one to two hours, with English, German, Russian, and Turkish support.
“The seal&Dolphin show was amazing my 2 year old dsughter loved it and so did we!... i advise to sit in the splash zone at the front if you can it is awsome!! The transportation was great! Our guide picked us up right outside the hotel and even came to look for us after show to wait for us and take us back the hotel, Overall experience was just sensational!”

Your entry ticket and hotel transfer are included, while photos and DVDs cost extra. The experience is wheelchair accessible.
You’ll visit a dolphin park near Antalya, Side, Kemer, or Alanya for a live show featuring dolphins and sea lions. Hotel pickup, return transport, insurance, and the show are included. Optional dolphin swimming costs €120 to €140 and must be booked ahead.
“pick up and transfer were fine. However the dolphin show in Kemer was not good at all. 90% of show was commented in Russian language. Show duration was about 1.5 hous, but most of this time was dedicated for making photos with dolphins and 2 seals for extra money. The owner cares only about money”
Join an English-speaking guide for a three-hour evening ride from Shinagawa to Tokyo Tower. Your electric bike carries you through Minato, with a dolphin show at Maxell Aqua Park, Sengaku-ji Temple, a snack stop in Azabujuban, and a Top Deck visit included.

“Minden nagyon jó volt. Azt az egyet sajnálom hogy ezen a programon nem lehetett úszni a delfinekkel.”
You’ll cruise from Hurghada to Orange Bay on a clean, spacious boat with two snorkeling stops, an onboard buffet, drinks, fruit, and hotel transfers. Staff members named Ahmed, Mahnet, and Bessim are praised for friendly service. Check the booking details carefully, since the title also mentions a dolphin show.
“Beautiful views, snorkeling was amazing and very safe. Great and helpful staff on the boat (Ahmed, Mahnet and the rest). Tasty lunch, lots of drinks and fruit. Worth going!”

Spend about 2.5 hours at a marine park near Side or Alanya, watching a dolphin, seal, and sea lion show before joining a supervised dolphin swim. English and Russian staff provide hotel transfers, safety guidance, and life vests. Photos cost extra, so plan for that added expense.
“Absolutely phenomenal experience, never did I think I’d be holding hands with a dolphin but I can safely say that’s ticked off my list, The event starts off with a show involving seals, sea lions and dolphins which was spectacular, then if you choose to swim you are taken to a separate pool for the session, (in groups of 8) and have a series of photos taken(dolphin kisses you, you kiss dolphin, hold hands/fins) you then get a short swim around the pool holding on to the dolphin, followed by a little “meet and greet” with the dolphin before the session is concluded. With not being the most confident in…”
Meet dolphins in a supervised Hurghada facility, watch a dolphin show, and pose for professional photos. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included from Hurghada hotels. Select the photoshoot, show, or full package carefully, since inclusions vary and phone cameras are not allowed.
“It would have been more exciting if I wouldn’t be scared of water as I don’t know how to swim, even I had a life jacket, but the whole experience was amazing, the dolphins were so nice and soft, really enjoyed. Worth it so many times to do it.”

Pick a hull, pick the water you want to be in, or decide whether you want them wild.
