This was the most amazing experience I had with my 2 19 year old girls.We were thrilled. Booked when got to bali as they had emailed and said fully booked. But they managed to fit us in. The dolphins love the attention. They look so happy and are well fed and cared for.To actually touch them and get hugs and... More

I agree with all the other reviews with difficulty getting confirmation of the booking, but persistence pays off. 2 days before excursion a man came to my hotel to collect money. On the day the drivers arrived exactly on time and greeted us friendly, and with pleasant conversation on the long journey to sanur. When we arrived to the dolphin... More

To be so close to the dolphins was amazing, they are so talented and we had absolutely fabulous time. However, they say that they release the dolphins one day a week and then they return out of their own free will for the food. I don't believe this, where the dolphins stay is very run down and dirty. When we... More

I had to review this as I have read some bad reviews on TA. Our whole experience was amazing. We had read that it was a little hard to book, so we waited until we arrived in Bali and asked the hotel to call and book for us... No worries, the free transfer picked us up that afternoon and took... More

Such a amazing experience, and badly I need to come back. The only trouble was gettting the reservation confirm. My advise is to call them after a day of no reply. The driver that was send for my pick up wasn't up to my likings. Same goes for my mum & aunt. He was arrogant, unlike the other Friendly drivers... More

It's been my dream to swim with dolphins since I was a kid, and I finally got the chance! We initially swam with a younger dolphin that didn't want to cooperate very well, so the staff member took us to the next pen with two older dolphins who were excellent. The power of these animals was amazing and the experience... More

We had mixed feelings should we swim with penned dolphins, or should they released to the ocean? We chose to visit the a small tidal island near Senur which will take up to 1.5 hours from Kuta. After briefing and donning safety gear we took the 10 minute boat ride to the offshore pens. The Dolphins were well trained and... More

Had a great time here - van picks you up on time at your hotel. Drive thru Kuta takes a very long time but greeted with a cool drink and then a short boat trip to the dolphin pen. These are all rescue dolphins ( from fishing nets) and we were told they are released to the ocean although they... More

I have tried a couple of times to book for this attraction and it was worth the wait. The trip out to the enclosure is nice and scenic and then getting in with the dolphins is quite an experience. The time just goes too quickly. They have a few dolphins there but our time was spent with a special man... More
