The gentle acrobatics of the dolphins do not fail to impress. They are capable of everything! Don’t be fooled, when one of them jumps too high, get ready because it will splash some water!

At Zoomarine, in Albufeira, you can enjoy several animal shows! From dolphins to birds of prey, there is no lack of entertainment here!

What most characterizes the Algarve water park is, in fact, the fascinating shows with the lovely and impressive dolphins. However, don’t think Zoomarine doesn’t have much more to offer!

A ferris wheel, slides, birds of prey show, cinema in 4D or an extensive river along which you can relax without being disturbed … here there is no shortage of things to do!

Did we say you can even swim with the dolphins? Our advice is that you visit the park and draw your own conclusions.
