Dolphin Encounter

In our Dolphin Encounter in Vallarta experience, you and your family will have the chance to receive all the love from the most adorable and playful Marine Mammals.

Dolphin Discovery Vallarta has designed this wonderful Dolphin Encounter in Vallarta so that people of all ages can enjoy safe and fun activities on a platform where the water will cover half of your body, so there’s no need to know how to swim.

For 40 minutes, a Marine Mammal Specialist will tell you all about these fascinating sea creatures, and your Dolphin friend will show you their affection and intelligence, greet you, sing for you, and you’ll even get to pet them. This is definitely one of the must-do experiences and activities with kids in Vallarta!
