Dolphin Encounters, Marine animal center in Blue Lagoon Island, Bahamas
The facility spans across a natural ocean habitat where Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions interact with visitors in multiple structured programs.
Established in 1989, Dolphin Encounters has developed from a small marine center into a leading education and research facility for marine mammals in the Caribbean.
The center employs local Bahamian marine specialists who share traditional knowledge about ocean conservation while conducting interactive orientation sessions with guests.
The center operates daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with boat transfers departing at scheduled times and requiring advance reservations for guaranteed program participation.
Visitors can participate in specialized programs combining dolphin interactions with sea lion encounters and stingray observations in their natural lagoon environment.
