Private dolphin swim — the heart of the experience

If you’ve booked a swim package, you’ll enter a designated pool area for a supervised interaction. The individual package gives about 5 minutes per person; duo or family options are longer. Trainers guide your movements alongside the dolphins, allowing gentle touches, poses and memorable moments. Photography is often optional for extra fee.

Practical info & money-saving tips

Timings & booking advice

Book your swim slot in advance (they are limited) and select morning slots for cooler weather and fewer crowds. Confirm cancellation policies which often allow refunds up to 12–24 hours before the trip.

Age, health & safety notes

Children and families are welcome; swim sessions often have minimum age/weight rules and pregnant or medically vulnerable guests may be restricted. Trainers will ask health questions and review safety guidelines.

Currency & payment tips

Prices may display in Euros or local currency. Carry local cash for photo/video extras and tipping; confirm card acceptance ahead of time.

Responsible tourism — animal welfare & alternatives

If animal welfare is important to you, ask about the facility’s care standards, how animals are treated, and if interactions are truly supervised with respect. For a gentler alternative, consider a wild dolphins-view boat or snorkel trip where you might see their natural behaviour in the ocean (though sightings can’t be guaranteed).
