Excursion details
If you’ve always wanted to spend time with dolphins and learn more about them, this approximately two-hour excursion lets you live out those dreams. It takes place at Dolphin Cove in Ocho Rios, on the north of Jamaica. Located inside a natural park and surrounded by tropical rainforest, it’s the perfect destination for fans of dolphins and other underwater animals.
Begin by boarding your bus at the port and taking a short ride to Dolphin Cove. After a brief welcome and orientation talk, it’s time to enter the pool for your dolphin encounter, lasting around 30 minutes. While standing on a submerged platform, guests are given the chance to interact with these fascinating creatures, guided by a trainer.
Once out and dry, take a quick look in the gift shop for souvenirs or to purchase photos of your dolphin interaction. A 15-minute transfer drive then returns to the ship.
