The Dolphin Encounter is a unique experience whose objective is getting to know and learning to respect this great marine mammal. This is a fun and educational interaction programme, prepared by Selwo Marina's Marine Mammals Department. Its key objectives are threefold: discovering, learning and having fun. The Dolphin Encounter is aimed at small groups, always accompanied by monitors, and takes place every day that the park is open. Want to know more? Read on and dive right into our marine world!
This interactive activity with dolphins takes place on a semi-submerged walkway in a pool that has been specially designed to allow you to get to know and be closer than ever to this intelligent marine mammal.
In this activity, guided by experts, participants will learn about the most important characteristics that make the bottlenose dolphin (
Tursiops truncatus) one of our planet's most unique mammals.
You will learn to use the signals that connect the animals and keepers and you will become one of our team.
Our dolphins will respond to your signals by showing parts of their anatomy, splashing, vocalising or doing jumps and spins, exercises that you can see in the educational presentations and that are also part of their daily activity in the ocean. We're sure it will blow your mind!
