Snorkel, dive, and swim alongside dolphins with your own water scooter. Then experience an unforgettable thrill as a pair of dolphins speed you across the lagoon in the signature 'foot push” maneuver.
Deep Water Dolphin Interaction
A one-of-a-kind dolphin experience awaits you in the deep waters at Dolphin Cay. Your interaction begins with orientation and includes 30 minutes in the deep water lagoon. Since each session is limited to just six guests, this wide-open dolphin playground is yours to explore. Hand-held water scooters let you control your speed, so you can race alongside dolphins, cruise along the surface, or dive to the depths of their saltwater lagoon. Snorkels and masks are also provided–and yours to take with you.
The highlight of your encounter is the signature 'foot push,” where a pair of dolphins–one on each foot–propels you across the lagoon for a rush unlike any you've experienced.
About Dolphin Cay
When you aren't socializing with dolphins, take a look around the Dolphin Cay community. As the largest dolphin habitat in the Caribbean, Dolphin Cay offers a marine mammal education center and a dolphin overlook area. Behind the scenes, Dolphin Cay is a state-of-the-art rescue and rehabilitation facility, the first of its kind in the Bahamas. Atlantis and Dolphin Cay were recently accredited by the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums for achieving and maintaining rigorous standards for animal care, education, wildlife conservation, and science.
Dolphin Cay is home to gentle Atlantic bottle-nosed dolphins, ranging in age from infant to 42 years. 16 of these dolphins are known as 'Katrina's Dolphins”–former residents of the Marine Life Oceanarium in Gulfport, Mississippi, which was destroyed in the infamous 2005 hurricane. Dolphin Cay was the only facility able to accommodate the entire pod and quickly arranged for their adoption. They were welcomed on Paradise Island in January 2006.
