Dolphin Bay Encounters at Atlantis, The Palm is a nature or wildlife attraction listed under Dubai activities at RAAHHI TOURS. Dolphin Bay is the lagoon at Atlantis, The Palm where guests meet the resort's sea lions and Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins. Atlantis now presents these encounters under Atlas Village in Aquaventure World. Programs range from a waist-deep meet-and-greet, where you can stroke and interact with a dolphin, to a deep-water swim with snorkel gear, and kayak or paddle sessions on the surface as dolphins swim nearby. A separate sea lion session keeps you dry. A marine mammal specialist leads every group and explains the animals' care and behaviour. Each program includes same-day entry to Aquaventure Waterpark and a juice afterwards. Meet-and-greet guests receive a photo. Swimmers should be confident in deep water. Listed duration or timing: Varies by selected dolphin or sea lion experience.
