Aksu Dolphinarium

The show was satisfying and my kid's swim was professionally performed by the team. The only thing that gave me 3 stars was the "extortion" of money for the pictures. I understand the charge of a picture of 20 € for those who paid just to see, but I can not understand how someone paid 125 € for swimming with the Dolphins and not get at least 1-2 pictures for free in a package with swimming (because not even we were allowed to take close-up pictures ourselves). Everywhere in the cultural world the price of a certain service includes everything that comes from that service, in this case the pictures of swimming (why do we pay for swimming for children if they do not have memories of it all or we have to pay 15 € per picture? That's why I wrote "extortion" of money for a picture). Totally unprofessional and uncultured in this area. The rest, as I pointed out, was great.

Pleasant and family environment. Dolphins show fantastic, instructors excellent. I recommend a visit.

العرض ممتاز ، The Sealion ,Seal and Dolphin Show starts at 15:00 and lasts for an hour every day except sundays. Swimming starts every day except sundays either at 11 a.m. or right after the Show at 16.00. If you choose not to watch the Show you can come just for swimming at the given time.

One person swims with a dolphin alone for 7-8 min (you will not share this dolphin with anyone!). You can choose to swim in a group of at least 4 with 1 dolphin for 20min. You can make your own pictures with your camera from the place which we show near the pool. Also our professional photographer making your pictures if you want you can buy from them also.

Great show kids loved it oppertunity to have photo's taken with sealions and dolphins

Please do not support this captivity! Managers only try to fill their pockets by using those animals and saying "our animals are so happy, our standards are so high BLA BLA BLA". Try to live your life in a bathtub then decide, you Einstein!

Please don’t go here. You are a better person than that. And certainly do not take your child to this dolphin prison, as you want to pass on good morals and a clear conscience, not cruelty. Dolphins are extremely emotional and intelligent beings and they suffer deeply in captivity. Do not be fooled into thinking that they enjoy meeting people or performing tricks. Their faces naturally make it seem like they are always smiling, but they are not happy. Indeed they are trained through starvation. Trainers keep food away from them to make sure they obey orders. In the wild, dolphins live amongst family. When they are abducted and torn from their families, they suffer deeply from depression. Due to all the stress they are under, dolphins die early in captivity. I hope you will find it your heart not to take part in this cruelty. If every person goes just once, it creates a huge demand for these parks, and new ones are incentivised to open. No 2 hours of entertainment is worth making another creature suffer a lifetime. There are better things to do in Antalya.

Good location, it took us a 5 min walk to get there from our hotel. Nice show, the trainer and the dolphins need to work hard to do some tricks they do. Water seems to be clear and it's cold enough. Swimming with dolphins is ok although it's not that long as they promise (we're the group of 4 and they told us we will get around 20 minutes with dolphins, in the end we've been in the water for something like 7 minutes) And after swimming comes the worst part, buying the photos. Photographer took like +170 photos of us, now try to decide and pick like 12 snaps, 3 per person, impossible. Ther's more to that, we been told that price of whole set of snaps plus the album is just for the two person so we need to multiply the digits. We decided that we will get whole package of snaps but only in digital, first offer was outrageous 400 euro !!! 400 euro for +170 raw snaps, cut&paste move and adding it to link, totall madness. After few minutes of bargain price droped to 300 euro after another fee we came to 200 euro and no euro less. Still this's a rip-off, for 200 euro we got a wetransfer link and a dvd ?, a dvd these days. For that price they could make an effort and give 1gb memory sticks, even with their logos printed. I believe that for 110 euro ticket they could offer at least some snaps for free or lower the pricetag on digitals, 50 to 100 euro is top what clients should pay for photos. Besides of that it was a good time.

My daughters had an memorable time swimming with the dolphins. The team was professional, and it was in a safe environment. You can hold on to the dolphins fin while it pulls you away for an awesome swim. It's a good 8-10 mins. Recommended for kids and parents.
