うみたま体験パーク「つくみイルカ島」

Umitama Experience Park Tsukumi Dolphin Island is a marine facility set in Tsukumi Bay with open-water dolphin enclosures. Visitors watch performances throughout the day and observe the animals in conditions close to their natural habitat.

The facility opened in 2011 after converting a former fishing center into a modern marine park. Since its launch, the site has grown into a well-known destination for marine education and animal observation.

The park centers on dolphins living in natural sea pens where visitors watch them daily and learn about their behavior. The experience connects people directly to marine life without the separation of traditional glass tanks.

The park sits directly on the coast and is accessible by foot during low tide, while high tide offers the full experience. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and bring sun protection, as shade is limited throughout the grounds.

Visitors can enter the water and swim directly with the dolphins rather than just watching from outside. This direct encounter sets the park apart and stays with guests long after their visit.
