One of my all time Favorite excursions was the deep water dolphin swim at the Atlantis Resort in Nassau Bay, Bahamas. This wonderful expense was worth the splurge. Sign up early, online before departing for your cruise if possible since this is a popular excursion. The dolphins are just great, so friendly. Their trainers also make it a great experience.... more

My daughter has been wanting to expierence what it would be like to swim with dolphins, so when we took a family vacation on Carnival we scheduled the deep water dolphin encounter at the Atlantis. I was shocked at the end of the encounter! The cost was $199.00 p/person and only lasted 1/2 hour. I cannot believe the Atlantis can... more

Booked the "Atlantis Deep Water Dolphin Swim - NS71" as a shore excursion through Royal Caribbean. Agree with the first reviewer that it was nothing more than a high-dollar photo opt for Atlantis Resort. Arrived in Nassau at 12:00 Noon and scheduled to depart pier for Dolphin Cay at 1:15PM. Description never tells you the distance from the boat dock... more

Our final shore excursion on a recent cruise was Dolphin Cay. What a disappointment! Instead of "snorkel(ing) and glid(ing) alongside a dolphin with a hand-held water scooter" (quote from the website), this was more like an extended photo-op. You start things off with a 15 min. slide show learnig some dolphin facts and detailing the history of the dolphins at... more

I have to say I had a great time doing the shallow water encounter at Atlantis. The beach access is definitely a joke. You can sit on their man made beach where the dolphins are, but you can't get in the water folowing your dolphin experience. And the picture packages are ridiculous!! $60 for 4 pictures!! Uggghhh!! But we paid... more

It is worth the money. We did the shallow water experience because of the age of our children. It was truly the highlight of our vacation. Made lots of memories! more

We (my parents and I (I'm thirteen)) participated in the Deep Water Dolphin Swim at Dolphin Cay. This was not the first dolphin experience we had ever done - we've done the Discovery Cove and UNEXSO's Open Ocean Dolphin swims. We did the Dolphin Swim through Carnival. As I'm a major cetacean-lover, we did dolphin swims in both ports. The... more

We did the deep water interaction last weekend. The trip wasnt what I expected at all. You dont really swim with the dolphins you swim across the pool area and then go to your next event the foot push. One of the trainers, (the manager) was yelling across the pool the whole time at the trainers and said that the... more

We booked this on our own to conincide with a cruise to Nassau. Just a few things you should know about booking this activity: Your entire encounter time consists of posing for professional photos, that you may later purchase. This consists of 2 individual poses per person - one dolphin hug and one dolphin kiss...about 60-90 seconds of contact per... more
