Arriving in Marmaris on a cruise ship? The Swim with Dolphins Tour is one of the shore excursions we regularly arrange for cruise guests calling at the port of Marmaris.

Tell us how many hours your ship stays in port and we will confirm that the full programme fits comfortably. Send us your ship name and the date of your call in Marmaris and we will confirm availability.

• Hotel pickup and return in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle
• Entrance to the Marmaris Dolphin Park and the swim-with-dolphins programme
• Briefing by a professional dolphin trainer on the park rules and safe contact
• About 30 minutes in the water swimming, dancing and sharing a kiss with the dolphins
• The belly ride, the most popular moment of the session

The Marmaris Dolphin Park is a dolphinarium in the Marmaris area, where trained staff run supervised swimming sessions with dolphins. Everything begins with an introduction from a dolphin trainer, who explains how to behave around the animals, how to hold on and what to avoid. It may feel like the quiet part of the day, but it is essential for your safety and for the wellbeing of the dolphins. After the briefing you change in the cabins, put on the life jacket provided and step into the pool with the instructors close by at all times.

During the session you can stroke the dolphins, swim beside them, try a little dance and, for many guests the highlight, hold on for a belly ride as a dolphin glides through the water. The trainers keep the interaction calm and gentle for both people and animals. This Marmaris day trip is relaxed in pace and needs no special fitness; basic comfort in the water is enough, as you wear a life jacket throughout.

Practical notes for this daily Marmaris tour: please do not apply sun cream, sunblock or any skin lotion before the swim, as these products can harm the dolphins. Bring swimwear and a towel. Photos and videos sold at the park, drinks and lunch are not part of the package. After the session our driver brings you back to your hotel.
