General info: 

Dolphins, those friendly see mammals. We would like to see them jumping free in front our yachts but as too many peolpe want to see them and too few people have yachts, someone decided to bring few of them here for everyone to see.

Luckily, the Dolphin Bay is one of the best dolphin artificial habitats made with the purpose of conservation of the species, as well as the entertainment of the visitors. The Dolphin Bay is a part of the Atlantis resort on the Palm Island. It is one of the most sophisticated places of its kind. The staff of the resort is experienced dolphin trainers that will introduce you to these beautiful creatures. There are several options offered, from shallow water interaction to the ride on the fin of dolphins, which they call the Royal Atlantis Swim.

Getting there: 

Being a part of the Atlantis resort, the Dolphin Bay is located on the crescent area of the Palm Island.

You can take the monorail to Atlantis from Nakheel building, costs 15 AED.
If you don´t happen to be in Nakheel building, it is easiest and most cosf effective to take a taxi.

Costs: 

The prices for dolphin interaction start at 215 dollars, while plain observing costs 80 dollars.
