Dolphin Bay Atlantis

Dolphin Bay at Atlantis, The Palm offers a choice of dolphin and sea lion programs, from meet-and-greet sessions to swimming, kayaking and paddle sessions with the animals, running from morning to early evening. Every session is led by a marine mammal specialist.

The Dolphin Meet and Greet is a shallow-water session open to most ages and abilities, letting you touch and interact with the dolphins from a shallow platform. The Dolphin Swim takes you into deeper water for a closer encounter with the bottlenose dolphins, while the Kayak and Paddle sessions keep you on the surface, moving through the water with dolphins swimming alongside. A separate Sea Lion Meet and Greet lets you get close to the resident sea lions. Across every program, a marine mammal specialist stays with your group throughout, sharing details on the animals' behavior, habitat and the conservation work behind the sessions.

Guests on the Dolphin Meet and Greet receive a printed photo of the session, and every program includes same-day access to Aquaventure Waterpark. Rayna's Dubai team can add a roundtrip hotel transfer to your booking and is on hand for support before and after your visit.

Make the most of your Atlantis visit by pairing Atlas Village experiences with Aquaventure Waterpark thrills, a journey through The Lost Chambers Aquarium, or a refined dining experience at Atlantis, The Palm.
