Play, splash and get a kiss from a resident dolphin at the Curaçao Dolphin Academy. Your Dolphin Encounter offers a uniquely designed program that allows guests to interact with these naturally playful creatures from a waist-high submerged platform in a relaxed and interactive environment. No swimming is required. This three hour day begins when you arrive at the Curaçao Sea Aquarium, a marine animal park and educational venue where guests can deepen their appreciation of these frolicking mammals of the sea. Meet a professional trainer and learn more about the behaviors of the more than 20 bottlenose dolphins in residence, renowned for their intelligence, playfulness and outgoing personality. Watch the dolphins perform tricks and eagerly splash and jump around for you. Then, wade into the warm water of the Caribbean Sea yourself and gently pet and even get a kiss of the dolphin. A professional photographer is on hand to capture the moment. Bid good-bye to your new friends at the end of this splashing-good time! After your program you'll have time to visit the Sea Aquarium park where you can watch a Sea Lion Training demonstration, a Dolphin training Demonstration, watch a shark or Flamingo feeding or join the Aquarium tour.
