An unforgettable encounter awaits at Puerto Aventura's Dolphin Discovery Park. Let fully qualified trainers help you put a big tick on the bucket list with a dolphin encounter experience. Spend around 40 minutes in the shallow waters with these fascinating, friendly creatures and learn how to interact with them. The experience is from a platform in the water, which makes the activity relaxed and accessible for people of all ages. During you time with the animals, you'll get to shake hands with them, they'll boop your hand with their snout and you can even get a peck on the cheek from one of them, too. What's more, your ticket also includes a buffet lunch and two non-alcoholic drinks with your meal.
