Recommended for visitors and guests of all ages and swimming abilities, the Dolphin Encounter will include a 15-minute orientation with a Marine Mammal Specialist, followed by a 30-minute shallow water dolphin encounter, giving even the non-swimmers plenty of chances to meet, kiss and play with friendly Dolphins. If you are more adventurous, you can scuba dive with these curious and playful mammals.

Discover the Myth of Atlantis with an Aquatrek at Ambassador Lagoon

Dive into the depths of the Lost City of Atlantis and discover its extraordinary marine life with an Atlantis Aquatrek in the Ambassador Lagoon, which is home to over 65,000 marine animals at Atlantis.
