Swimming with Dolphins in Turkey: An Unforgettable Experience in Antalya and Alanya
Swimming with Dolphins in Turkey: An Unforgettable Experience in Antalya and Alanya
The Turkish Riviera is not only known for its beautiful beaches and historical monuments, but also for the many exceptional activities that you can enjoy during your vacation or stay here. One of the most beautiful experiences that appeals to both children and adults is swimming with dolphins. There are several modern dolphinariums in the Antalya and Alanya regions that offer this unique experience in a safe and controlled environment.
Where you can experience swimming with dolphins
Sealanya Dolphinpark – Alanya (Türkler)
This complex is one of the most visited attractions in the region. In addition to animal shows, it offers the opportunity to have personal contact with dolphins - including swimming, touching and playing together. The entire program is supervised by experienced trainers. Sealanya is located just a few kilometers from the center of Alanya and close to well-known residential areas such as Avsallar and Konaklı.
Dolphinland – Antalya
Dolphinland is part of a larger complex at the Antalya Aquarium, making it an ideal place for families. In addition to swimming with dolphins, you can also find seals and sea lions. The program is also suitable for younger children who may not yet know how to swim - the dolphins can be observed from shallow water or from the pier.
How the experience itself goes
The experience begins with a short training session where participants learn basic rules and information about dolphins. This is followed by the actual swim – a few minutes of interaction during which you can pet the dolphin, let it pull you through the water, or play a simple game with it. The length of the program depends on the package, usually 15 to 30 minutes.
The staff also provides professional photos and video footage, which you can take away as a souvenir after the event.
Who is the activity intended for?
Swimming with dolphins is suitable for everyone from about 6 years of age. In the case of younger children, an adult must accompany them. The program is safe, designed so that even those who do not have advanced swimming skills can enjoy it. The dolphins are carefully trained and accustomed to human contact.
Price and booking
Prices range from 90 to 150 euros depending on location, length and type of program. Some parks also offer special packages for families or the option of an individual program for two. We recommend booking in advance, especially during the summer months, as capacities are limited.
Enjoy the experiences, live close to them
Many visitors who fall in love with the area decide to spend more time in Turkey – not just as tourists. The Antalya and Alanya areas offer a wealth of modern properties just minutes from the sea and the aforementioned dolphinariums.
If you can imagine a life where morning swims, evening walks by the beach, and experiences like swimming with dolphins are a regular part of the day, this is where you can make it a reality.
