Dolphin time that lets you connect, feel, and smile.
Set against the beautiful sea of Muroto in Kochi Prefecture, this hands-on attraction lets you do more than simply watch dolphins in a natural setting surrounded by the vast ocean—you can interact with them and experience them up close.
Its activities include a wide range of programs known for how close you can get to the dolphins. The most popular is the “Feeding Experience,” where you can touch dolphins from the poolside and take commemorative photos. Also popular are the “Trainer Experience,” where you take a lecture on dolphins and the marine environment before communicating with dolphins by giving actual signals, and the “Dolphin Swim,” where you swim with them while wearing a wetsuit and marine shoes.
Once you meet the dolphins’ round eyes and adorable gestures, you’re sure to smile and feel uplifted. Another major draw is that all the dolphins kept here are friendly, making it easy to interact with them safely even on your first visit.
The area around Cape Muroto, where the facility is located, is a stunning scenic area shaped by dramatic rocky shores and the blue sea. Along with a moving dolphin encounter, take time to enjoy the full appeal of this great natural setting.
