Dolphin & Sea Lion Show in Alanya – an Hour at Sealanya with Transfer

If your children have one wish for the holiday, it is often this: to see a dolphin jump. At Sealanya, a marine park just outside Alanya, they get that and more – trainers, dolphins and sea lions put on an hour of leaps, tricks and comedy, and the drive from most hotels takes only 15–30 minutes.

Seats around the pool

The grandstand curves around the pool like a horseshoe, so every seat has a clear view of the water. Over about an hour the dolphins race, spin and fly out of the pool, while the sea lions play the clowns; sometimes volunteers from the audience are invited to join in. The presentation is given in several languages. Photos and videos are welcome from the stands, as long as the flash stays off.

Morning or afternoon?

Choose the slot that fits your day. For the morning show we pick you up at around 09:00 and you are back at about 12:00 – perfect before an afternoon by the pool. For the afternoon show we come at around 14:00 and return at about 17:00, which suits late risers. Either way the trip takes about three hours, including some free time for photos and the souvenir shop.

Getting closer to the animals

If watching is not enough, you can add a swim of about 30 minutes with dolphins or sea lions on site, as well as professional photos, for an extra charge and subject to availability. For a swim with an instructor and the transfer included, book our dolphin swim at Sealanya; for sharks, rays and a giant tunnel, the Antalya Aquarium makes a great family day.

Prices and transfer

Adults pay €32, children aged 3–11 €25 and under-3s nothing. Ticket, guide and air-conditioned transfer are included; food, drinks and souvenirs are extra. The transfer is free from all resorts between Okurcalar and Mahmutlar, Alanya included. Bring a hat, sunscreen, water and a little cash for extras.
