Dolphin Quest Bermuda is located on an ocean peninsula in a historic fort, now known as the National Museum of Bermuda, and is a marine sanctuary that welcomes guests to meet our bottlenose dolphin family. Dolphin Quest Bermuda is celebrated for its educational initiatives, endorsement of scientific studies, and active involvement in hands-on conservation advocacy. These important community endeavors are supported through the participation of guests in our purposeful dolphin interactive experiences.
Dolphin Quest Bermuda provides a variety of dolphin encounters which allow guests the opportunity to meet, touch, and play with dolphins in a safe and comfortable environment for both guests and dolphins. Our sheltered, natural ocean lagoon setting enables diverse interactive experiences with dolphins from docks, submerged platforms, or deeper water swimming areas. Each encounter is unique based upon the guests, marine mammal specialists, and dolphins, with a variety of opportunities to select from based upon guest age, dolphin time, and whether you prefer to join a small, shared group, or book an exclusive experience.
