Dolphin Cove Ocho Rios

Must do it. Great experience with dolphin. Staff is great, too. The only thing I don't like is that management charges a lot to get pictures of digital copy. Also, for every creature encounter, you need to pay that charge again. It should be resonable. Also, buy tickets online in advance.

Awesome. First time experience. If you want to interact with the dolphins that's an extra fee. We were regular admissions which included: The Mini Zoo, Aviary, Water Slide, Pool & Kayaking. The food looks great but it isn't inclusive with the admissions package so you'd have to pay as you order. The staff was great and accommodating. It is definitely a place to vacation or unwind from a hectic work week.
Oh, make sure to book a reservation beforehand (we didn't but they allow walk ins). A reservation ensures that there aren't any price surprises upon arrival.

Went on a cruise excursion, our guide was Ornella, please ask for her, she was absolutely amazing, she cared for us and made sure we were all ok the entire time. Dolphin Cove was great too, so much to do there. Swimming with sting rays, great food, swimming in the beach too......definitely got our money worth with this excursion, would do it over and over again

We booked the dolphin excursion through our hotel. It's not cheap but how often do you swim with dolphins. First note...our hotel said to bring cash and wear sneakers. Bring some cash for tips but you definitely need a credit card for pictures. Most people wore ocean shoes and not regular sneakers. Pictures are expensive so we just ordered them for the kids. At the end you download an app and download the pictures to your phone. Lunch was included with our excursion. We were able to get the jerk chicken and rice for free and it would cost money to get other menu items. The jerk chicken and rice were good. Maybe bring water as water is $5. Our small kids don't know how to swim and they were nervous in the beginning but the staff were great and they left happy. We did the short zoo afterwards and the bird guy was cool and birds were feeding off the top of our kids heads. Bring $5 bills for tipping and credit card for pictures and gift shop. I hope the details help with your trip.

I went March 3 2024. It was a beautiful experience. I enjoyed my time. The first thing that really captivated me was the love birds. They flew down on us and started eating from our hands. The dolphins was cool also. The pool and jacuzzi was nice too. My children enjoyed the slide.The staff were friendly and nice. The only negative was the beach had some rock stones which hurt my feet. The cost of the food was not bad an it was a good amount. I would give them 9/10. I would definitely go back.

What a great excursion. We booked the dolphin encounter with norweigan cruise lines. They have a shuttle bus that takes you to Dolphin Cove. Lonia ( I may have spelled her name wrong) was our Dolphin instructor. She was super friendly and knowledgeable. Me and my family had a great time thanks to her and the rest of the team.

I had a great experience with the dolphins. The staff were friendly, the photos they took were looked great and cost less than I expected. I didn’t purchase my tickets in advanced because I didn’t want to feel rushed. But no issues and you still need to wait to check in and get a bracelet. The wait to get in with the dolphins was unorganized-we all waited around trying to figure out what we were waiting for our time was 1:15 but didn’t get in until 2pm. I was concerned about seeing everything because they close at 330. But it all worked out fine for me I was done with the dolphins by 230 and I was able to look around. On another note I was concerned about the bunnies they looked sedated.

They do a good job with large groups. They keep you moving through the different parts of the program so as to be on time. Oh, and the dolphins are pretty spectacular too.

Wonderful experience dolphins are well trained and very friendly... Highly recommended for families to experience aquatic life!

We had a great time here. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Dolphin trainer Ronaldo was great. He clearly had a good relationship with the dolphins and had built trust. He shared his knowledge and expertise and made our experience amazing. We also spent time with the stingrays and enjoyed the jungle trail and kayaking

Great place and people are very friendly and helpful! The dolphin trainers and guides are wonderful and passionate. Would definitely recommend!

Was an amazing experience. Pay the extra to interact with the dolphins. A little pricey food and drinks, the shops need a major update. The main thing I got to dance with a dolphin! Great place to get a picture of your cruise ship

Wonderful place! Bring change for tip money and money for photos. The experience is Wonderful and the animals they have.
They have lockers and changing rooms. Running streams to rinse off.
Fun for all ages!

Bring your families! Dolphin cove is an excellent experience. Be sure to have tipping money. Ask for Lonia and her 2 dolphins Wyra and Orion. Her love for what she does pours out of her and into her work. She loves answering questions and enjoys a pumped group. Highly recommended, 2 thumbs up, 5 stars! And the food is delicious and customer service is phenomenal. We can't wait to return!

Great experience! The whole family loved it. The dolphins were very skilled and fun to interact with. Highly recommended!

Wonderful family friendly fun, the staff was great and very knowledgeable about each and every single animal on the premises. They keep the vibe high thoughout each activity and gave us pointers on how to full joy every single experience. Will definitely be coming back 😁 👍

My family purchased the swim with the dolphin package, and we all proceeded to have the best experience of ours lives. My child was hesitant at first, Jerome (trainer), brought her over - asked the dolphin (Secret) if they would hurt her and dolphin shook its head no. She then got a quick kiss and proceeded to have a magical hour in the water with the dolphins. I would go back tomorrow if this was an option. Huge thank you to the all the staff.

Really beautiful experience! From the zoo , the string rays and of course the dolphins so proposed to my girlfriend while attending here and they really pulled all the stops out and made it a real special one for us, the finest of details with the boutique of flowers, really made it a special moment for us and thank you guys for the gift, really appreciate all the caring and loving members of staff
Thank you
5*

Had a fantastic time swimming with Zeus and Secret. Our trainer Jerome was funny and made sure everyone had a good time. Highly recommend. Also the mini zoo was a great experience as well.

My second time around and it was a great experience. Meet & greet with the dolphins was the highlight of this visit especially because I love these mammals. Overall, the food was good, friendly and efficient staff, its a nice place for your next stop.
