Ultimate Animal Experience

Overview

This is the Ultimate Animal Experience — a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet three incredible marine species in one action-packed visit to Blue Lagoon Island.

Your day begins with the Dolphin Encounter, where you’ll stand on a waist-deep platform for hands-on, guided interaction. Hug, dance, and connect with one of the ocean’s most intelligent and joyful creatures.

Next, head over to the Sea Lion Encounter, where you’ll meet our playful and expressive California sea lions on land and in shallow water. Learn how we care for them, how they communicate, and enjoy their goofy charm up close.

Finally, gear up for the Stingray Encounter, where you’ll observe and snorkel alongside gentle Southern stingrays in a natural habitat. Touch their silky fins, learn from marine specialists, and discover how these animals play an important role in our local ecosystem.

Between encounters, relax on our scenic beaches, explore the Bahamian Village, or enjoy a buffet lunch overlooking the lagoon.

Professional photos are included so you’ll take home lasting memories of your amazing day with the animals of Blue Lagoon Island.
