What You Will Visit
Curaçao Dolphin Academy
Discover the fascinating world of dolphins at the Curaçao Dolphin Academy, which has been welcoming guests since 2002. The Academy's mission is to provide an educational and interactive experience that helps guests better appreciate these magnificent marine mammals. The Academy is committed to their humane care and uses positive reinforcement, rewarding the dolphins for their accomplishments rather than using punishment. The Academy is also one of only three facilities worldwide where dolphins can venture into the open ocean. Each day, a pair of dolphins can follow a small boat and explore waters up to 1.9 miles from the facility. Before entering the water, your knowledgeable trainer will introduce you to the dolphins, explain how to interact with them, and teach you some of the hand signals used to communicate with them.
The Dolphin Swim
Enjoy an exciting combination of swimming and close interaction in the dolphins' natural lagoon. As the dolphins join you in the water, you'll have the opportunity to gently touch and interact with them. Use hand signals to encourage them to sing, spin, wave, and perform other playful behaviors. Please note that personal cameras are not permitted in the water. Professional photographers are available to capture your experience, with photos available for purchase afterward.
What You Will See Along the Way
Willemstad
Travel through the colorful and historic streets of Willemstad, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
