What it's like

Dolphin Cay is a 14-acre environment on Paradise Island, built as part of the Atlantis resort. It shows marine animals in a setting designed around the wider Atlantis complex, which holds the world's largest open-air marine habitat.

A visit centers on the Stingray Experience, a hands-on encounter with hundreds of Cownose stingrays and tropical fish. Paradise Island also has powder-white beaches and restaurants, so a visit can be paired with time on the sand.

Good to know

  • Dolphin Cay sits inside the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island.
  • Atlantis is reached by the port ferry and a short taxi or walk, with no boat tour needed.
