Dolphin Encounter Perfect for Kids!
Our children had such an incredible hands on experience with the dolphins! My girls are 4 and 6 yrs old and the dolphin encounter was the exact level of interaction that they wanted. We first attended the dolphin show/demonstration at 10:30am, did the experience at 11:00am stayed for 1 hour to explore the aquarium (highly recommend) and then lunch at their cafe. The pictures they took were beautiful, so we purchased those too. Thanks for such a wonderful day!
We booked directly through the dolphin academy, we did not book through our cruise. When we hopped off our cruise, we took a taxi to Mambo Beach. The aquarium was a 10 minute (shaded) walk from where they dropped us. If you are wanting to go to the beach afterwards, reserve a chair and umbrella while you're walking to the aquarium. They will be completely full when you are done with lunch around 1pm.
