Swim with the Dolphins in Freeport Bahamas
Dolphin Swim Experience in the Bahamas
Dolphins are incredibly intelligent and social creatures, known for their playful nature and acrobatic displays.
- Different species of dolphins: There are around 40 different species, from the well-known bottlenose dolphin to the lesser-known river dolphins.
- Dolphin behavior: They use echolocation to navigate and hunt, and they communicate with each other through a variety of clicks, whistles, and body language.
- Dolphin conservation: Sadly, some dolphin populations are threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and fishing gear entanglement.
Experience unforgettable close-up encounters with the world’s most amazing animals
An unforgettable experience for all ages.
A short ferry boat ride along the south shore of Grand Bahama Island will take you to Sanctuary Bay, home of The Dolphin Experience, operated by UNEXSO (the Underwater Explorer’s Society), and a pod of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins.
Once at the facility, you can observe the friendly dolphins up close and personal. Sit with your feet in the water as the dolphins swim around you, or step into shallow water and touch these amazing animals, take photographs from our observation deck, hear interesting facts about the dolphins and ask questions of our animal care staff.
While being given the opportunity to actually touch dolphins in waist-deep water, you can also engage in discussions with our marine mammal specialists here at The Dolphin Experience. This highly educational and fun program is a great way to have an experience with the animals ‘up close and personal’. The Close Encounter program is a two-hour interaction excursion with boats leaving UNEXSO in the Port Lucaya area at 10:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. daily.
