“We done the Dolphin encounter as a family of 6. It was incredible. The guides (Warwick was one of the guides) were very interactive and taught us a lot about Tina the Dolphin. Tina was so social with humans too. would love to do the swim with the dolphin next time. Photos are quite expensive but was cheaper for me to purchase the lot on digital which was 1275 AED and we had around 58 photos in total. other wise it is 150 AED per photo.”
