Delfinario de Varadero
Delfinario
An open-air dolphinarium in a natural lagoon on the Hicacos Peninsula, where visitors can watch dolphin shows and pay to swim with the dolphins.
The Varadero Dolphinarium lies in the central-eastern part of the Hicacos Peninsula. It uses a natural lagoon as the dolphins' enclosure. Several dolphin shows take place each day. Visitors can pay to get in the water with the dolphins and take photos. Entry and swim packages are priced separately, and spots in the swim programs are limited, so book ahead in peak season. It is great for families with children. Note: photos and videos usually cost extra. Visitors concerned about animal welfare may wish to weigh whether to take part in the swim programs.
