Blue Lagoon Dolphin Encounter

Great experience
April 20, 2022
We took about a 30 minute boat ride to the island from the pier and then walked around until our time for the the dolphin encounter. We had about a dozen other people in our group but they made sure we each had enough time with the dolphin. It was great and the picture prices are very reasonable. My biggest tip is to take snacks and drinks with you because they are expensive on the island. Lockers are free. I look forward to going again.

The kids loved it and I couldn't stop smiling.
February 01, 2020
The groups were boarded onto the boat and brought past several beautiful ocean front homes on the way to Blue lagoon island. It was a fun trip with the staff playing music and even getting the guests to dance along. It was about 20-30 minutes. Once there you cross a beautiful walking bridge with nautical rope sides, dolphins to the side and very pretty blue water. Then we had time before our dolphin encounter so we went to swim first. The first group was rushed over to the dolphin encounter area right away. The beach has 2 sides. One side has the air raft jumping/climbing park and the other just open water. The bar splits the 2 sections. The gift shop had a nice variety. The lunch was a buffet style with a lot of good food. Gets you one trip and juice drink. It's tea , lemonade or fruit punch. They have hammocks, large chess and checkers tables and coconut bowling. Overall we loved it. Only thing I would suggest is making it easier to see your photos with the dolphins.

Expensive, but worth it!

It has been a dream of mine and my wife's to interact with dolphins, and this experience was exactly what we had hoped for. It was made even better by the fact that our 3-year-old daughter could join us. It was a lot of fun!

Amazing Experience
January 23, 2019
We were really wowed by the Dolphin Encounter. Each person was able to kiss, hug, feed, touch, and dance with the dolphin. It was during Christmas and they were crazy busy, but the trainer took the time with each person. Worth the money!! We paid for the photos/video -- $150 for our entire group of 6. Once in a lifetime experience so we thought it was worth the extra expense. The beach area was crowded but very nice. Even in December the water was an amazing temperature. The snack bar prices were like an amusement park, inflated but what you'd expect. Food was ok. The only complaint I have is about the shuttle service that took us from the port to the check in area where you get on the Ferry. No one came to the location with a sign. A guy pulled up with the door to the van open and yelled at us to hurry up and get in he had to make check in on time. He didn't confirm our names till he had already taken off. It worked out fine but he was rude and short with us.

A highlight of our cruise!
April 16, 2018
We all loved this excursion! We were with our son and his wife and our two grandchildren ages 6 and 9! Other than a slight snag finding our ride to the ferry, all went smoothly! The dolphin encounter was amazing! Our 9 year old said afterwards “That was the most fun I have ever had in water!” We spent the rest of the day at the beautiful beach. Floats and inner tubes were provided free of charge. The beach was perfect for children-shallow, clean and perfectly clear water. We purchased rather bland, expensive food at the only place available. Only disappointment! A ferry took us directly back to our port!

My wife and I did this excursion together. From the moment we walked into the enclosure to when we reluctantly left, the experience was pure magic. The interaction with our dolphin was amazing. We danced, we hugged, we kissed. Sounds like a great date, right? I would do this again in a New York minute.

My family had a wonderful time! i highly reccomend this excursion if you have age gap in your children. We have 2 teenagers and a 13 month old so this excursion worked out perfect. At first the Dolphins weren't ""cooperating"" so the handlers moved us to another section and made sure we got the full experience! My 13 month old even got a kiss from one of the Dolphins! My only complaints were the ferry to island was late and then Dolphins weren't cooperating so we were very rushed to eat lunch and didn't get any beach time, my daughters wanted to hang out in the hammocks!

Dolphin Encounter
August 11, 2016
We decided to do this as Opposed to the carnival cruise line dolphin encounter, as we read about the long lines and how crowded everything is with them. We are please to say it was a great call!! How fun and wonderful this excursion was! I took my Girl Scout troop and they loved it! Not to mention the Ocean conservation Smalltalk they give the girls prior to us going in the water. Do not miss this excursion it is a must do!!

Difficult to find meeting place because it was a yellow building- not white as listed. Once we made the connection, all was well. A wonderful boat ride to the beautiful island. A good orientation of how to interact with the dolphin. The staff was very respectful of the needs of the dolphins. The experience was perfect. We were in shallow water and the dolphin, Salvador, was in deep water. We kissed, hugged and danced with the dolphin. He was treated frequently with fish and given breaks as needed. Bucket list met!

A new experience but have something not happy
March 12, 2016
Well, the experience is the very first, and the lagoon island is beautiful. But this product said the when we leave the main hall, to left will have someone waiting for us with a board, we take two kids back and forth 4 times not found, finally we take the taxi to the ferry port to catch up the ferry. We are lucky to catch up it but as you can image, taking an infant and 3 years old, go back and forth the street to find the bus was really a different experience. We are really not happy with this. The taxi charged us $4/person, include infant and 3 years old.

What a great excursion, good for all age groups. We took the relaxing boat ride to this island and were greeted and directed to a short 10 minute introduction to dolphin anatomy, history and ecology. Then you have the option of changing into the variety of wet suits provided, or your own bathing suit and joining the dolphins. A chance to have a kiss picture is taken care of first, then the actual fun - dancing and feeding, etc - the dolphin begins, along with another picture hugging the dolphin. Things were run smoothly and the picture and video packages weren't too outrageously priced. You can stay on the island and use their swimming, beach and food facilities, but we hopped on one of the return boats right away.

A Life-long Dream
July 20, 2014
This was a life long dream of mine. It was great because it was just a close encounter, so it gave me valuable information about it, however I didn't get to swim with them. Swimming will actually be a whole lot more expensive. I think it was kind of expensive especially if more people in your family wanted to participate in the experience. But other than that, I was pleased with the experience. Maybe if picture is included or you get a larger percentage off for the next excursion, then that would be great!!

I had been to Nassau many times before but never done a real excursion! This last time before I departed on my cruise I looked up a dolphin program for me and my girlfriend to go to. We loved it! The boat ride to the secluded island was wonderful, with breathtaking views all around. The island is a little slice of paradise, hidden away from busy Nassau. The interaction with the dolphins was just flat out amazing! We got to dance, hug, and pet the dolphin and even had some time to explore the little island afterwards! I would totally recommend this for anyone looking to swim with the dolphins in Nassau!

This was an amazing experience. My family could not have planned for a better way to spend Christmas day! Just start with the boat ride to the island - it was beautiful and informative! Not only is the Dolphin experience the best - the island is beautiful! The cove on the back side of the island is magical and the hammocks are not to be missed! The adult beverages are pretty awesome and the food was worth every penny! We can't wait to go back to Blue Lagoon and it will always be on our stops!

Perfect way to hug and kiss a dolphin
December 15, 2012
This experience was great! Just be careful, the use of the inflatables was NOT included in the price. You can use the beach, but can not use the inflatables without paying and additional $15 per person. They do sell packages that include the inflatables too. The management was extremely accommodating and they let us get the kids (12&11 yrs old)free if we bought 2 inflatable adults tickets. The dolphin was absolutely fabulous, lots of tricks, lots of excitement. You can take your own pics, but the sell professional pics and a DVD of your experience.
