Dolphin Encounter at Atlantis Dubai
Wade into waist-high crystal clear waters for a magical shallow-water dolphin encounter at Aquaventure’s Atlas Village.

Limited to just 10 guests per dolphin, this one-of-a-kind experience lasts around 90 minutes and includes a 15-minute orientation and 30 minutes in the water with the dolphins.
