Dolphin Encounter

About Dolphin Encounter

One of the most exciting things to do in St. Kitts is playing with the dolphins. On this St. Kitts dolphin encounter, you'll get to do just that out in the Caribbean waters. Now is your chance to get up close and personal with these beautiful, intelligent creatures. Check out this St. Kitts dolphin experience today.

The St. Kitts dolphin encounter lets travelers get face-to-face for some memorable fun.

Before getting into the water, you will spend about 30 minutes getting debriefed by your tour guide. After the briefing, the next 40 minutes will involve playing with dolphins. During the dolphin encounter, you can shake hands, hug, and even kiss the dolphins; dolphins are known for their friendliness, and that's on full display throughout the activity.

This dolphin experience is ideal for families; kids will thoroughly enjoy playing with the dolphins. Ready for some fun? Make your reservation now.

Please Note: Guests ages 60-79 may participate in all dolphin programs provided they are fully independent, have no medical or mobility limitations, and can swim unassisted. Guests ages 80 and over may participate in the Dolphin Encounter only; other interactive dolphin programs are not permitted.
