Dolphin Quest: Private Encounter at Royal Naval Dockyard

Wade into the turquoise waters of the Dockyard keep and swim alongside Atlantic bottlenose dolphins in an intimate, expert-led encounter. A once-in-a-lifetime connection with these extraordinary animals, steps from the ship.

What to expect

Your naturalist guide briefs you on dolphin behaviour before you enter the warm, sheltered lagoon. You'll touch, swim alongside, and interact with the dolphins while learning about their biology and conservation story. The experience unfolds at a leisurely, educational pace with plenty of time for photos. Post-swim, you can watch from the terrace over a complimentary refreshment.

Good to know

Dolphin Quest is literally inside the Royal Naval Dockyard — a 5-minute walk from the Kings Wharf pier. Sessions are 30–60 minutes; book the first morning slot to allow ample time before all-aboard. Pre-booking weeks in advance is essential as sessions sell out fast.
