  Closed. The owners abandoned the place after the hurricane and left total mess behind. They took profit but now they do not care. (It is almost half a year since)

  It was a sad experience. The dolphins are slaves, working against their will to make money for big business. The environment they were in was a fenced in prison. Our dolphin, Penelope, was underweight and never once opened her eyes. I would never do this again.cannot support this type of business. Also, we were not allowed to take photos, had to buy their poor quality, cheesy touristy pictures, for a ridiculously high price, if we wanted some. Disappointing all around.

  This should be called dolphin prison. These beautiful, social and highly intelligent creatures are caught in the wild, ripped from their social unit and forced to live the rest of their lives in these tiny cages. All this is done just so you can swim with them. This "industry" is vile and everyone that supports it should be ashamed.

  Did the Royal Swim on June 28th 2017 an amazing experience our group has 8 people. We were able to do the Foot Push twice since we got though all the other activities pretty quick.

  We were just in the bar and the beach. Great stop! Amazing place! Funny bartender service.

  My mom and I were on a cruise with Holland America, and because of the only 6 hours of time we would be docked in St Marteen, and the fact that the Dolphin Discovery was not on the excursions lists, we thought it wouldn't be possible have our desired dolphin experience on the trip. Still we badly wanted to find a great dolphin experience with the 6 hours we had on the island. We went to the info desk and asked about what we could possibly do with the time we had and still get back to the ship by 2pm. The super helpful girl behind the desk made a phone call and got us set up with the dolphin experience (minus the dolphin swim and lunch on the beach they offered -we just didn't have the time for all that). They even pro-rated it for us so we were not charged for the things we would miss. An hour later we were in a group of people on the way to a ferry to then get transportation to the Dolphin Discovery Anguilla. They were so accommodating for us. Since we did have less time then everyone else (who had all come from other cruise ships) they made sure we were handed off to each person in charge each time we moved (from the info desk in St. Martern to the ferry, from the ferry stop to the taxi stop, then at Dolphin Discovery. Also, all the way on our way back they got us a private taxi and put us on a speed boat so we'd get back on time!). When we did get to Dolphin Discovery they gave us a few minutes to get our life vests on (go potty, too) and went over the hand motions we needed to know for the dolphin experience. We were in and out of the water in about 20 minutes with plenty of time to meet and get to know Paris, a five year old male dolphin. It was such a wonderful experience that my mom and I will never forget! Thank you so much Dolphin Discovery for going WAY out of your way to help us make one of our dreams come true! And we were at our ship with time to spare, with a cd of all our pictures and souvenir tshirts, too! :-)

  Amazing experience, the trainers and tour guides were really friendly and fun. The dolphins were really well looked after and so good to swim with. Would recommend this company to anyone looking for an amazing dolphin experience. Highlight of our honeymoon cruise.

  The dolphins are good fun, although their enclosures are not that big.
  Compared to another one in Curacao we could do a lot more with the dolphins, but they seemed to take better care in Curacao.
  Riding through the water or being pushed by our feet was great fun.
  
  The pictures are expensive for sure. I bet more people would buy them if the rate was lower.
