No trip to Atlantis would be complete without a visit to Dolphin Cay. This extraordinary 14-acre habitat offers visitors an amazing, up-close experience with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and friendly California sea lions. Our Shallow Water Interaction lets you go nose-to-nose with these remarkable animals. Guests of all ages can touch, splash and play away with a delightful new sea friend. (Children 10 and under must be accompanied by an adult.) For even more excitement, book one of two Deep Water Swim programs. Glide and snorkel alongside a dolphin with a hand-held water scooter before getting a “foot push” across the lagoon on a boogie board. Or try a “freestyle swim” where you’ll swim freely alongside these friendly marine animals in one of our lagoons. Guests must be at least 10 years old and be able to swim in deep water without support vests or assistance. Jump in for some splashing fun during our Sea Lion Interaction. Hug, touch, or even kiss your new friend before posing for a keepsake photo. Visitors will tour the state-of-the-art marine facility and rescue center before stopping to snap pictures with their new Sea Lion friends. Limited to just 12 guests, this intimate interaction begins with an orientation and includes 30 minutes in the water. There is plenty to do outside Atlantis’ waters, too. Kids can create loveable stuffed animals at Atlantis Pals or customize a remote-controlled racecar and challenge friends to a thrilling lap around the Atlantis Speedway.
