Although expensive, this excursion was really fun! We chose the dolphin swim and it was well worth it. They put us into small groups, which was nice, and let us swim with the dolphin, get kissed two different times, and had the dolphin put on a little show for us. The did not let us take cameras to the dolphin... More

Swim or just kiss the dolpins depending on your swimming ability. Swim with stingrays. Swim with sharks but that is extra. Go on a speedboat ride. Places to eat or sit on beach. A few shops and a nature trail. Have photos taken with iguanas, parrots, love birds etc. Well worth the trip More

My husband, daughter, niece and I had a very enjoyable and memorable visit to Dolphin Cove on May 9, 2012! Swimming with the dolphins was definitely the highlight of our trip there! They are so intelligent! The entrance fee alone cost was $83 per person, but allowed you to do a number of things including watching the shark show, jungle... More

While staying at the Riu Ocho Rios, my family decided to do the Dolphin Encounter at Dolphin Cove. You get to spend about 30 minutes in the cold caribbean sea with a playful dolphin. We were in a group of six and each had the opportunity to touch and interact with the dolphin. This was a highlight of our Jamaican... More

In February this year my husband and I visited Dolphin Cove at Ocho Rios and experienced the Touch and Kiss session. After our session we went to view and purchase the inevitable "official" photos, and for an extra fee we ordered the Combo, which included a DVD of our session. The DVD was duly collected and packed away in our... More

This was an awesome experience, there is nothing to compare it with because it is so unique! I am not a swimmer, however the staff there made me feel very safe and secure. If you haven't done this, make sure you give yourself the great pleasure of swimming with the Dolphins! More

We had arranged for our visit online, we chose the swim with the dolphins encounter. It was me and my husband and only 1 other person, a 10 yr old boy from the UK!!! Being only 3 of us I think we got a lot more personal attention. Upon entering the park, they explain the layout and show you to... More

I love dolphins but as we found it on a day trip I did not have a cozzie so could not swim but you could touch them and watch them playing in the large pool affair. There was an area where you could get a bit to eat and drink we went here after visiting the Dunns River Falls as... More

Experience is wonderful, but above all the staff was phenomenal! We brought my mother who could barely walk. Staff pushed a wheelchair down a rocky slope, threw sand, gave her her own dolphin experience when a life jacket didn't work for her, and helped her learn how to snorkel. Oh, then push her back up a rocky hill. They even... More
