What It Was Really Like Going on a Gay Cruise

"A Curaçao attraction offering up-close animal encounters in a roughly three-hour excursion; it costs about $159 (lunch not included) and involves significant waiting for a relatively short, 15-minute dolphin show, which some visitors may find underwhelming compared with the price and time investment." - Kwin Mosby Kwin Mosby Kwin Mosby is a travel journalist and the editor-in-chief of Vacationer Magazine, an LGBTQ+ travel website.

We did the ABC cruise and I wanted my wife to get the opportunity to swim with dolphins. This is the only island that had this opportunity. Amazing place everyone is very friendly and will answer anything you ask. It's really cool they take the dolphins out of their lagoon to open sea often and listening to how they coordinate it. They actually have a YouTube video of them doing it. Definitely can tell they are well cared for and I cannot wait to visit again when we go back to the ABC's! Thank you again for such a memorable visit!

THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER don’t overthink it JUST GO. It is very clear that the dolphins 🐬 love their trainees and that they are treated right. This was an excellent experience and for the price of snorkeling you can stay at the aquarium. Dolphins are very healthy, smart and agile creatures. You will learn a lot here. They treat them very very good i am glad I did it. The best aquarium i have ever been. JUST GO!! You won’t regret it. And the price it is very FAR almost cheap for all of what you get. Thanks for everything Dolphin Academy

The dolphin snorkel was amazing! We were a family of 4 (kids 12/14) and this was one of the most unique experiences we have done in all our travels. You really get to interact with the dolphins. You do have to tread water for 25 mins, and need to be able to free dive with the dolphins, but it was amazing! They take lots of photos that you can purchase at the end of the event. Julia was the trainer with us, and she answered all our questions and was obviously very bonded with the dolphins. 10/10 for this expierence!! You need to book in advance and give yourself plenty of time for driving and parking.

while in curacao, we were told to try this out. we were excited for the dolphin swim but cannot begin to explain how much it exceeded our expectations. we expected to float in the water with a bunch of other guests, with dolphins swimming around. it was so much more than that. we were split into smaller groups with each group having allocated dolphins. we spent the entire time directly with our assigned trainer and dolphins who instantly enable you to learn how to interact with the dolphins. we swam, dove and got to interact directly with the dolphins. I highly recommend at least book the swim! it was incredible, thank you again!!

This was an amazing and magical experience for my daughter and wife. We did the snorkel swim with the dolphins. The dolphins were very gentle very gentle with the children and very patient. Initially the cost gave me a little bit of a heartburn, but the experience was well worth every penny we paid.

If you want a GREAT experience with dolphins then you have to go to the Dolphin Academy in Curacao. Noel and Junior are great trainers who are very knowledgeable about the dolphins. They will ask ALL of your questions. You will have such an amazing time and the best part is that pictures are taken during your experience.

Took my boys to the Dolphin Academy for the dolphin swim. To say they were in heaven is a major understatement! They were ecstatic the entire time! We were in the water interacting with 2 dolphins. There are only 6 people to a group so we each had plenty of time with the dolphins. They have a professional photographer there taking the most epic pictures. Our guide Noël was absolutely amazing! He was so fun and inviting! We will definitely be back again!

We had a great experience here. Knowledgeable staff with a good sense of humour. It is expensive but I get it. If you have the chance I do recommend it. Amazing animals!
