Dolphin Encounters is one of the top tourist attractions in the Bahamas and is owned and operated by a local family. It began in 1989 when two Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins were rescued from an aquarium that closed in Nassau. The animals were relocated to a large all-natural seawater dolphin habitat on Treasure Island (a.k.a. Great Guana Cay) Abaco, Bahamas.

During its short history, Dolphin Encounters has transformed itself from a dolphin rescue project with two dolphins and three employees to one of Nassau's foremost tourist attractions with eighteen dolphins, six sea lions and over 150 dedicated staff. Our natural seawater lagoon has facilitated many successful births, including three calves by our oldest female Princess, one of the original dolphins.
