Curacao Dolphin Academy

Curacao Dolphin Academy provides an educational platform for visitors to the southern Caribbean island of Curacao to learn more about dolphins through hands-on programs. The dolphins who reside at Curacao Dolphin Academy are kept in both man-made and sea enclosures, giving visitors a chance to interact with dolphins in their natural habitat while learning more about the friendly sea species.
Curacao Dolphin Academy provides various ways to experience the world of dolphins. Visitors can do a dolphin encounter where you pet and kiss dolphins in waist deep water or a dolphin swim during which you’ll be taken into deeper water in the lagoon where you’ll swim with the dolphins and even be given a dorsal fin pull ride. Curacao Dolphin Academy also offers special dive programs where you’ll get the chance to snorkel or scuba dive with the dolphins in the natural lagoon and interact with them under water. There is even an open water dive encounter where the dolphins of the academy leave the lagoon and go out into the open water to swim with participants.
