    This was amazing! It's a little expensive, but where else can you swim with dolphins, touch and kiss them? Totally worth it.

    Do not go there if you love and if you want to protect animals. The dolphins were caught from their natural habitat, the ocean and have to live a miserable life in small basins with chlorine water. Their teeth have been filed down (just this alone is great pain, how we all know) so they can't harm any tourists. On top of that: It's illegal! They have to do tricks to please and satisfy the visitors to get food. All that is so far away from how they would behave and live naturally. If you know just a little about these wonderful creatures, you'd know better than coming here and pay to extend their suffering in this prison. The dolphins misadvantage is, that their face mimic always looks like they're happily smiling.... the complete opposite is the case here. I better donate my money to free them from this place and be much happier seeing them roaming free in the ocean. Please think twice before visiting this place.

    This marine park is one of the best in Bali, it is also act as a dolphin conservatory, and educational park. And don't worry about the dolphin living condition, there are no chemical substance added to the pool water, instead they use powerful jet pump and filter to keep the water clean. Nowadays, it is very hard to see a company that pay a lot of attention to our environment, Salute to this one

    Your experience may vary, but my experience was pretty minimal. About two minutes or less direct encounter with the dolphin for feeding & photo. The staff in charge rushed me off from the pool, citing the need for the dolphins for rest time. Edit: Thank you for your response dear Sir/owner. Next time I will try to set my expectation lower.

    I booked the discovery package with my Sister! We arrived in time, and booked in advance. The communication went easy thru whatsapp. When we arrived, they explain our package, regarding there website there are some difference in it. We got a bracelet for our entrance, the lady also told us that this is a souvenir, I think, if you pay that much of money, they really can upgrade the souvenir, because the wristband is your entrance its not a souvenir. Our group consist out of two groups, the staff did a great job explaining everything during our time with the dolphins, it was an amazing experience, but I think if a group consist out 2 different languagues there should be an interaction with both groups, I felt sometimes a little bit left out. Besides this, I enjoyed my time, if you are thinking about this experience, dont be scared, the dolphins are amazing and its an amazing experience! At the end we bought all the photos on a USB-stick, the lady also explained to me that the pictures can be send thru WeTransfer, I'm still waiting for my photos to receive online, I contacted them twices, but still haven't received anything, im very very dissappointed about this. If you read this, "I am still waiting to receive my photos online"

    We had an amazing experience and surely recommend everyone to go and pick the discovery package where you can actually get to interact with dolphine and swim with them. Get to touch them, middle in the water dolphins will come to you and jump around you. Very good co-operative staff.

    It was an amazing experience to interact, do tricks, feed, kiss, play and swim with the dolphins in several ways with my wife. We loved it! The place is cool, the staff is very kind and nice. Absolute 5* 🐬 Wish you a good luck for the future. See you next time! :) David & Reka from Hungary ❤️

    Go for the Discovery Program for the complete experience swimming and interacting with friendly dolphins. Book their earliest slot (11am) so you don’t have to wait for other people coming in. Also, choose the flash disk option for your photo collections. They have a really cute flash disk. Upon arrival you will be served a pudding and an iced tea, but really their tofu stick is so yummy.

    We made a reservation for my step-daughter, who is a local and has always dreamed of this activity. The advertisement claimed that the dolphins were rescued, but unfortunately, we discovered that these poor animals are being kept in a small pool filled with chlorine. Although the Balinese staff was friendly, it was evident that the place is primarily managed by individuals from China. Regrettably, the well-being of the animals is not a priority; the focus is solely on making money. After our experience, we had a meaningful conversation with our step-daughter, emphasizing that this is not a natural environment for dolphins. Dolphins belong in the wild, not confined to a pool. We strongly advise against visiting this place due to the animal abuse we witnessed.

    Prices are not cheap but it’s worth it for families with young children who wants to interact with the dolphins. On a side note, staff organization can be better addressed. We came as a group but wanted photos as separate families but they kept insisting we are a group so we should do the discovery program together. Only after explaining repeatedly they allowed us to be separated. Overall despite the small hiccups, it is still recommended for the dolphin experience.

    This was a terrible experience. Beware of this tourist trap. The pricing is higher for tourists than advertised and the staff scam money out of you at every opertunity available. We booked a package for our 6 year old daughter and at the time of booking was told that we were allowed to watch and supervise her but not participate. Our booking was for at 12:30 and when we arrived in preparation for the session another member of the staff came to us with a form to waiver any and all liabilities as only my daughter could enter the facility and we must stay out side. When we questioned this we were told it would cost another $100 for us to accompany her (the staff accept no liability and expect you to consent to them looking after your child for 40 minutes in a swimming pool). They then told us that we would have to wait an additional 2 hours to be ready for the encounter. All in all this was a terrible experience and there are far better places to interact with dolphins in Bali such as the dolphin lodge. TOURISTS BEWARE

    (Translated by Google) I think the place is less attractive, it turns out that after arriving directly addressed to a beautiful place, starting from the restaurant to the pool is really suitable for photos. Complete facilities and friendly service. One of the interesting destinations and also increase education about dolphins precisely at Bali Exotic Marine Park 👍🏼 (Original) Saya kira tempatnya kurang menarik, ternyata setelah sampai langsung ditujukan ke tempat yang cantik, mulai dari restorannya sampai kolamnya benar-benar cocok untuk foto. Fasilitas lengkap dan pelayanannya ramah. Salah satu destinasi menarik dan juga menambah edukasi tentang dolphin tepatnya di Bali Exotic Marine Park 👍🏼

    Amazing experience with Dolphins. The staffs are helpful and make you comfortable with Dolphins and water. You can take photos by phone but they do take with their professional camera. After the experience, you can get all of the photos in a beautiful Dolphins memento USB disk for 600.000 IDR. There was couple of talking parrots which cute hello, try to talk more and they might repeat it. Overall, good experience.

    Great place for leisure! Children will be delighted! Competent staff! The park area is clean, friendly staff! You will be offered water and a sandwich for free! Dolphins are cool, I'm thrilled! The only thing is the price, it is too high for 40 minutes of presentation. Once you can go, but no more!)

    (Translated by Google) An exciting experience can be swimming with the dolphins, but here we are not just swimming, but getting education about the dolphins themselves. And the thing to remember here is that dolphins are not exploited, but they are well cared for and cared for and there are special veterinarians who monitor them for 24 hours. In addition, dolphin food from fresh fish. (Original) Pengalaman yang seru bisa berenang bareng Lumba-Lumba, tapi di sini kita bukan sekedar Berenang, tapi mendapat edukasi mengenai Lumba-lumba itu sendiri. Dan yang perlu di ingat disini Lumba-lumba tidak di exsploitasi tapi mereka di jaga & di rawat dengan Baik dan ada dokter hewan khusus yang memantau mereka selama 24 jam. Selain itu makanan lumba-lumba dari ikan yang segar.

    (Translated by Google) The depth of the pool is only 3 meters for the fast swimmer dolphins. I saw 2 dolphins in a small pond about 3m × 3m. They can't swim freely, just popping their heads out. 2 dolphins in his mouth also had a scratch. For the cheapest package ticket price of 500 thousand To jump into and interact with them 1.2M (Original) Kedalaman kolam hanya 3 meter untuk lumba2 si perenang cepat. Saya lihat 2 lumba2 didlm kolam kecil sekitar 3m×3m. Mereka Tdk bisa berenang bebas hanya muncul2 aja kepalanya keluar. 2 lumba2 di Mulutnya juga ada luka gores. Untuk tiket harga paket paling murah 500rban Untuk nyemplung dan berinteraksi dg mereka 1.2jt

    We loved the discovery dolphin experience! We had so much fun and got to kiss dolphins, hold dolphins, pat them and do tricks with them! I think the price is fair for what you get- a very close interaction with these beautiful animals! A special thank you to Gus- you made our day even better with your friendly conversation and all your knowledge of dolphins! Thank you Gus, you’re awesome!

    I had a 40 minute interaction with dolphins and I must say, it was incredible. The dolphins are very friendly and smart and can perform various tricks, which made the experience so much fun. The session was done in a group of 5 people and each of us got enough time to play, feed and touch the dolphins. I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone who visits Bali.

    (Translated by Google) Dolphins cannot be used for entertainment. This place is a prison for intelligent mammals. Moreover, this place is located in the most ecologically unfavorable area of ​​Bali - a few hundred meters from the largest landfill on the island. There is a terrible smell constantly. (Original) Нельзя использовать дельфинов для развлечения. Это место - тюрьма для разумных млекопитающих. Тем более, что это место находится в самом экологически неблагоприятном районе Бали - в нескольких сот метров от самой огромной свалки острова. Там постоянно стоит ужасный запах.

    People might say why keep these animals in captivity but i must say thats a chance to learn from them and to get to love them and to care about them. It seems the dolphins are well maintained and handled in here. we had lots of fun and an experience for kids and us which we will never forget thanks to all the staff and team over there and we hope the tourism crisis is soon over and you get more paying tourists over there keep your place as it is right now well maintained and clean and you will have no problem to worry about...

    Where do I start! My husband and I had the most wonderful experience at Bali Exotic Marine Park. I have wanted to swim with dolphins for such a long time and this finally became a reality. The package was well worth it. Everything was included even pick up and drop off. The staff were wonderful! The facility is beautiful, very well kept and they have everything you might need covered and then there’s the Dolphins who will make you fall in love in seconds. I was really impressed by the whole experience, it was so exciting to be able to interact and be so close to the beautiful Dolphins. As well as being able to literally hug and swim with these incredible creatures we actually learnt so much about them it was so educational, the trainer told us so much throughout the visit and answered any questions we had about the Dolphins. I was worried about not being able to take any photos but there were actually 2 photographers there to capture everything which was just brilliant. We were able to view all the photos and videos at the end and able to purchase them. My husband and I were shocked to see that there were actually over 300 images of our experience and I promise you they were all amazing. I want to say a huge thank you to all the wonderful staff and trainers for making the experience so wonderful and a thank you to Suarez and Emon (our Dolphins) we love you. I would highly recommend you visit!
