Age and Health Requirements

Children must be at least 5 years old for the Shallow Water Interaction. Deep Water and Royal Trainer programs require participants to be 10 years or older. All guests need a signed medical declaration. Atlantis staff check height and swimming ability on site before entry.

What Each Package Includes

Every ticket covers a short educational briefing, wetsuit, life jacket, and photos taken by staff. The Royal Trainer option adds a behind the scenes tour and lunch with the team. Only the Ultimate Swim and Deep Water packages allow guests to enter deeper lagoon areas with dolphins. Towels and changing facilities are provided at no extra charge.

Booking and Arrival Process

Reservations open 60 days ahead through the official Atlantis website or the Atlantis app. Same day spots are rare and usually cost an extra 100 AED. Arrive 45 minutes before your slot for check in and safety briefing. Free parking is available in the Atlantis West car park for ticket holders. Public transport users can take the Palm Monorail to Atlantis Aquaventure station.

Ethical Notes for Visitors

Dolphin Bay operates under UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment permits. The facility follows daily health checks and limits group sizes to reduce stress on the animals. Guests are asked not to feed or touch dolphins outside instructed moments. If you prefer observation only, the Dolphin Bay viewing deck remains open to all Atlantis hotel guests at no charge.
