Don't Go In August

I visited on the 10th August and it was too crowded to enjoy. The person at the door was hostile and to get my photos chaos. Won't be back in August again.

Wonderful

Our family had an absolutely wonderful experience at Dolphin Academy Curacao! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and ensured that everyone, from the kids to the adults, had a memorable time. The interaction with the dolphins was truly magical — we loved learning about these incredible creatures and getting the chance to swim and play with them in a safe and friendly environment.
