They tell you can't bring you camera near by the pools...it's just an excuse to improve they own pic selling business. They should be ashamed to sell about 10 pics on a cd ( not printed!) USD 349$!!!

Not taking the very expensive pictures into account this was a wonderful experience. It is simply amazing how much time you actually get with the dolphins with the 3 water activities that are included in the half day visit.

At Dolphinaris you have 3 sessions of 30 mins each play time with dolphins (we interacted with 5 dolphins in total). The quality of water is also excellent. You... More
