Dolphin Encounter & Exclusive Island Shore Excursion

Play with dolphins during your own private island escape on this Nassau excursion! This is the best dolphin program you'll find around because you'll get to interact with these cool creatures right on the beach! Unlike similar excursions you may see, there's no waiting in an overcrowded pool or wasting time here on this Nassau excursion!

On this popular Nassau dolphin excursion, you'll be whisked away to a private island where you'll get to spend the day freely exploring a tropical paradise. When you first arrive, friendly staff members will provide you with a quick orientation about the dolphin encounter and help you fill out any necessary paperwork. Afterward, the fun of your Nassau shore excursion begins! You'll wade out into the water until you're waist-deep to greet your new dolphin buddy.

For approximately half an hour, the trainer will educate you on dolphin behavior and answer any of your questions. At the end of the encounter, you'll get a kiss from the dolphin and pose for a photo (available for purchase).

The rest of the day on the island can be spent however you'd like. Lay on the beach (lounge chair included!), go swimming in the beautiful waters or grab a refreshing drink - you can design your adventure! Additional non-motorized water activities are available for rent.

If you're looking for some relaxing beach time, umbrellas are available on the beach on a first-come basis, and there is plenty of shade on one of our patios or bars.

If you're feeling hungry or thirsty, the market offers something for everyone to purchase, from small snacks to a light lunch, fresh sandwiches, salads, wraps, and delicious beverages!

Restrooms are located around the island as well as freshwater showers and foot baths. Don't worry about getting back in a hurry, your tour representative on the island will schedule you accordingly to ensure you are back to your ship on time for re-boarding.

Please Note: For the welfare of the dolphins, loose items such as jewelry and cameras cannot be taken into the water during this Nassau dolphin excursion. Lockers will be provided during your interaction. Please note cameras and cellphones are NOT permitted during the animal interaction portion of the tour. This tour can accommodate wheelchairs.

Dolphin Encounter

I must say this was totally worth it. My husband and I had an awesome trainer with Dixon our Dolphin. The group was not large and we spent a great amount of time. Interaction was over the top. Definitely do this again. The photos you could purchase of your encounter was a dolphin shaped thumb drive a bit pricey but totally worth it. The Island was beautiful and very expensive to eat there. A burger was $22. 2 bottles of water and 2 personal size bags of chips was $16. They were not very friendly when paying with a CC, they would keep asking if you had cash.

I went with my kids ages 7, 9 and 10 and they were blown away! They loved being so close to the dolphin. We got to pet him multiple times. He did tricks for us and gave kisses! Tour was well organized with transportation to and from the island. The beach area was really nice as well. Highly recommend this excursion!
