“Be mesmerized by the performances of native Thai dolphin species, including the rare Pink Dolphin and Irrawaddy Dolphin, with the exclusive opportunity to swim closely with them.”
Pattaya Dolphin World is a premier marine talent showcase and recreational destination, primarily featuring native Thai dolphin species such as the rare Pink Dolphin (Indo-Pacific Humpback) and the Irrawaddy Dolphin. Designed as a family-friendly hub, the facility emphasizes the bond between humans and marine life through creative and educational activities.
The signature highlight is the Intelligent Dolphin Show, which blends natural instincts with professional training, featuring hoop jumping, rhythmic dancing, and heartwarming interactions with trainers. Furthermore, the Dolphin Swimming program offers a rare chance for visitors to physically connect and communicate with these mammals under expert supervision to ensure safety and well-being.
Beyond the aquatic displays, the venue operates as a Multi-Activity Zone, integrating various leisure pursuits in one location, including scenic horseback riding, cowboy-style horse carriage tours, and a standard shooting range. These activities are tailored to meet diverse tourist interests, making it a comprehensive one-stop destination for holiday relaxation.
