- Marie-Lu75Algiers, Algeria7 contributionsNice experienceNice show with possibility of swimming with dolphins (separate fee). Our son loved it. We did not book through an agency as the prices were more than double. One can simply go there and purchase a ticket directly at dolphina park. Agency was offering the show at 35 USD per person. We paid 40 USD for 2 adults and 1 child as we bought tickets directly at the park. For swimming with dolphins, the cost was 75 USD for 15-20 min. My son got to swim alone and "dance" with the dolphins multiple times. They were a group of 6, each person got his/her time with the dolphins. Professional photographers were making a video (could be purchased at 35 USD) and pictures (purchase at 5 USD/picture on USB key/digital/ or from 8 USD printed, selection possible).Visited November 2023Travelled with familyWritten 4 November 2023
- Sabrina PBournemouth, United Kingdom96 contributionsA good day had by allDespite the negative reviews I have to say this was a really good few hours out. Yes the music was loud but not to the point I was in pain. We didn’t have a negative manager be rude. We did get changed 5€ each (myself and my husband) to watch our children swim with the dolphins even though we had already paid over £100 each. We couldn’t take photos whilst they did there swim as they want you to pay for their own photos. But that’s to be expected I guess. And I think they must do different packages as the other group had more time and fun with their dolphin. But the main thing is the kids loved it and the show before was good fun.Visited December 2023Travelled with familyWritten 31 December 2023
- Rachel M3 contributionsChaos on timesWe visited as part of an excursion on our holiday. The show was amazing and the staff and dolphins really work well together. We all enjoyed it. We did however find there to be a lot of waiting around for the swim afterwards and also to go and buy photos was absolutely chaotic with people pushing in and no order from staff. We queued for a while and a lady then pushed in and she got served first. This is a real shame as the show and staff were lovely.Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten 8 May 2024
- Rachael H43 contributionsOnce in a lifetime experienceWe had an absolutely amazing time At dolphina. It was everything I wanted and more Transport was arranged to and from our hotel. When we arrived at the centre, we were given a warm welcome and shown to where we could change and store our valuables. Once we were ready, we were taken to the dolphin pool. We booked for 30 minutes with the dolphins and we definitely got this amount of time. We spent time playing with the dolphins, swimming with them, stroking them and learning facts about them. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable and you could see they cared about the animals in their care which was lovely. Once we had finished, we went to get changed and then went back into the grounds to see some of the other animals they had there. We were able to feed the monkeys and see the flamingos and tortoises. We then went to buy our photos and videos of our time and there are a range of different of different options of what you can purchases to meet everyone’s needs. We got our photo and video as it was the top thing to do on my bucket list and I have wanted to do it for many years. We also got a little dolphin plush which was surprisingly cheap. There is a cafe on site and the areas are clean and well maintained. All the staff were so lovely and explained everything we wanted to know. I definitely can’t wait to come back one dayVisited July 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 12 August 2024
- jaclyn tLiverpool, United Kingdom6 contributionsAmazingWe paid for a privite trip to swim with the Dolphins. Transport from the hotel and back, 30 minutes in the water with 3 Dolphins for 15 minutes and 2 dolphins for the whole 30 minutes. Our Dolphins names were steven and maira. They Dolphins where so friendly and playful. Gave kisses, splashed us. Pulled us around the pool, danced with us and played catch. A really fantastic experince. The staff where very friendly. Their was no pressure to buy the video or pictures however i wanted the full 35 minute video of us in the water with the dolohins ans 142 pictures they took. Deal was £170 for the lot and 1 printed out picture. I seen a group of aprox 12 people with 1 dolphin in the water and they had to take turns to touch the dolphin. I found for an extra 100 pounds our package of privite just the 4 of us fully interacting for 30 minutes with 3 and 2 dolphins well worth the money. Not sure why so many bad reviews as we found it highly emjoyable and staff so nice and welcoming. I would recommend and pay for the upgrade. If you want it to be memorable then pay the price, dont expect 5 star services if you are not paying 5 star money. You get what you pay for and swimming for 30 minutes 1 on 1 with a dolphin is not cheap. If you go in a group dont expect the full time alone with a dolphin. We as a family loved the experinces and are so greatful for all the staff and the video and amazing pictures. My daugher also brought a dolphin teddy.Visited August 2024Travelled with familyWritten 22 August 2024

- Magdalena BNewport, United Kingdom19 contributionsExceeding all expectationsI can highly recommend the swim with dolphins, it's a well organised and delivered experience, worth all the money. The dolphin show also exceeded my expectations, the dolphins are happy, well treated by their trainers and eager to show off their skills. Both dolphins and sea lions delivered a breathtaking show, the intricacy of the training and skills is astounding!Visited September 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 21 September 2024
- Craig28 contributionsFantastic one hour show and very good value for money!Fantastic show and great value for money! Staff were excellent and helpful. My partner also booked for a personal swim with the dolphins which she loved, there was a $5 charge for me to watch which was excessive considering I was only allowed to watch and not take any videos or photographs. This is done to ensure they can sell you the video or photographs that they take which again was a bit expensive at $7 per picture, you are not forced to pay for them but obviously you want a memento of that special moment! The only downsides was the music which was way too loud and unnecessary and halfway through the 1 hour show they try to auction a picture one of the dolphins has painted to stoney silence from the crowd. They should just say that you can purchase this picture after the show and then get people to bid for it if more than 1 person wants it.Visited September 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 21 September 2024

Great dolphin/sea lion park for families to enjoy, including swimming with dolphins for 15 minutes or 30minutes for all ages, at a great price compared to other countries.
The dolphins as well as the sea lions are well trained and a joy to watch and remember.
Instead of booking with a tour guide who charge more why not book direct via call/whatsapp-
Dolphina/Mr Abdullah- +20 122 500 1900
They arrange pick and drop off too so no middle men.

I came with my two kids to experience swimming with dolphins. I was asked to pay 60$ per child for a 15 minute VIP swim with the dolphins. We were not allowed to photograph the children with the cell phone (did not say so before arriving at the place) but only to buy pictures that the photographer of the place takes and sells with a video.
What happened was that in the end the kids were added to 2 more families and we paid the same price and for 8 pictures (4 for one child and 4 for the other child) and a video cost us $ 35 per video and $ 5 per picture (unprinted) we paid a total of $ 195 for the attraction. Not worth the price and in this review I recommend not to go there.

It is not worth it , the say 15 min but actually you will enjoy it just 2 maybe 3 min , it is ok if you go with group because you know each other and fill comfortable. They don't keep distance and you stay with strangers so this is very bad , it is much better to do it in other city or country. I didn't bought the video because the video is with people i don't know , it is useless. I payed 75 $ for 2 min 🤣 so truly don't waste your money. The squad is good and the delfins are very good. Delfins are god everywhere !!! And don't forget the is not allowed to make pictures . You have to pay 5 $ for each one. The video i don't know is useless with strangers

Никому не рекомендую это видеть,тем более детям.Из «плавания» с дельфинами,только фото(за 5$ каждая) и пару катаний за плавники.Млекопитающие очень голодные,у обезьян грязные клетки,условия ужасные и доводят до слез.

I do not recommend to anyone to see what is happening here,especially to kids.The «swimming » with dolphins is only taking photos(which are sold for 5$ each) and riding two times.Mammals are starving and the monkeys have dirty cages,the area of living is horrible and makes me cry.

€55 to take a swim with dolphins which lasts a total of 10/15 minutes maximum together with other people, so the time near a dolphin is yes or no 2 minutes. No one can accompany you inside and woe betide you if they see you with a phone to take videos or photos they become beasts. At the exit if you want to buy a photo on CD it costs €5 per photo on the stick €5 plus €10 for the stick and €35 for the video. Total
€100 per person to spend 2 minutes with the dolphin plus photos.DISHONEST JACKALS

Worst experience because of the staff, it is a worthy adventure but the staff just wants to get photos for money while we paid alot to have fun dealing with the children unprofessionally . The children could get fun time with more cooperative staff. The staff are racist they are calling names insulting other nationalities with bad words they cannot understand them . Very bad experience in this place with too much money losing.

Came here on trip from our hotel for my 21st birthday on the 15th September as it was a dream as it is for many people to swim with dolphins.
I wouldn’t bother it was rushed paid £100+ for 15 minutes 10 minutes spent waiting for other people and only about 2 minutes swimming with them most of the time is spent taking photos. You are not aloud to take your own video or photo you have to pay for them at £8 each photo. And not many are taken you again spend most of your time looking at other peoples photos rather than your own.
It is forced for you to spend your money and no thought or care is given to you it is just about the money.
The staff are also very rude and not accommodating to any one’s needs and when told was not apologised too.
Unfortunately it wasn’t quite the experience I was expecting for my 21st birthday so I do not recommend.

I booked the swim with the dolphins via email and I didn't receive an answer to the question about the total cost. However, we went to the dolphinarium and discovered astronomical prices on site: in fact, on the site the prices are indicated in American dollars and not in local currency, generating confusion. Furthermore, there is no discount for children: my children aged 3 and 4 euros paid the full price ($75.00 each) to swim for 15 minutes in the company of a lifeguard who we had to pay an extra 5 euros for. It is not possible to take photographs or make videos so you are forced to purchase a souvenir for the modest sum of: 8.00 euros for a printed photograph, 35.00 euros for the video, 10.00 euros for the USB stick, 5 euros for the photo on CD.
The staff is unkind, only interested in performing and collecting as if on an assembly line. It could have been a much more exciting experience, but instead we felt exploited, it makes me doubt whether dolphins are exploited too. Sin!
