Nassau Dolphin Tours

Visiting the Bahamas is an incredible experience on its own, but having an intimate encounter with one of the earth’s most intelligent creatures is one of the moments you’ll want to share with your friends and family back home, over and over again. Even if you’re just stepping off of a cruise ship and on shore for a few hours, if you come for a Nassau dolphin tour , there are few experiences that are going to top it. The Blue Lagoon Dolphin Close Encounter provides visitors with the unique opportunity to swim, touch, and play with Bottlenose Dolphins. The excursion begins with a scenic boat ride on a beautiful catamaran from Paradise Island in Nassau to Salt Cay (also known as Blue Lagoon Island), home to a three acre dolphin habitat and training facilities. Dolphin experts will provide you with a thorough orientation and give you a great deal of background on the Bottlenose species, including their biological make-up, their social structures, their diet, and the training process. Once they feel you’ve been properly educated, it’s time to get wet! For the more timid or younger visitors, a series of custom platforms allow you to wade in waist deep, and enjoy touching these gentle creatures from the comfort of a standing position. For a more personal experience, trainers will provide you with a life jacket so you can bob around, as they play around you, stopping for a kiss and a scratch. If you’re worried about preserving your memory, don’t be! There are plenty of professional photographers and videographers on site capturing every moment of your Nassau dolphin swim tour, and there are plenty of opportunities for loved ones sitting on the sidelines to snap photos and take videos.

Our Dolphin Swim Program offers you the rare opportunity to actually personally interact with the friendliest, most intelligent of the marine mammals, the Bottlenose Dolphin. Venture out to our beautiful dolphin habitat on Blue Lagoon Island.

• Adults (13yrs and up) $ 235 00
• Child (6 - 12) $ 235 00
• Observer $ 50 00

Participants have the uncommon opportunity to personally engage with the smartest, most sociable of aquatic mammals, the Bottlenose Dolphin. Wade onto a submerged platform to encounter these animals in waist deep water.

Non-participants may observe those in their party who are taking part in a dolphin program. If you wish to stay and enjoy the island facilities, the observer should purchase a ticket for the Blue Lagoon Island Beach Day. If you wish to only visit the island to observe the Dolphin Encounter, there is a $25 US fee per observer for the ferry ride from Paradise Island to Blue Lagoon (if there is space available), and a $5 US fee per observer for the bus to the ferry (if there is space available). These observer fees are payable directly to the ferry and the bus, and no reservations are necessary.

At the program areas, you can take your own photos or videos from the public dock areas. Please be advised that an unobstructed view of all dolphin interactions is not guaranteed, and observers are not allowed on the platforms at any time. No exceptions will be made.

Bahamas Tours

As one of Nassau’s most famous and popular sites, Blue Lagoon Island has been repeatedly voted as the number one Bahamian natural attractions and family activity. This incredible island has been virtually untouched for centuries, and is often referred to as the “real Bahamas”. The natural vegetation gives this private island the illusion that it has stayed intact from human civilization. After Dolphin Encounters opened in 1993, it started a marine mammal educational program. That same year it underwent a costly extension to the grounds to ensure their dolphins and sea lions had the best living conditions possible.

These programs were designed with the visitors in mind and created to make sure they are educational, safe, and entertaining. The dolphins love to show off their latest moves, and love being social with new people. The sea lions have been described as the “dogs of the sea”, and when you see them in action, it’s easy to understand why. The Dolphin Encounter Experience have set the bar to the highest level as far as animal treatment, and have been recognized internationally for their efforts concerning raising awareness for animal welfare.
