Side Dolphin Show: Tickets, Price & Dolphin Swimming

If you are looking for a dolphin show near Side that fits easily into your holiday schedule, the Side Dolphin Show at Sealanya Dolphinpark is a convenient half-day excursion to the Türkler area, around 30 kilometres east of Side. The experience combines hotel pickup, a 50-minute live marine show and the option to add a Swimming with Dolphins session, making it suitable for families, couples and anyone looking for a relaxed activity away from the beach or hotel pool.

Your day starts with a morning pickup at around 09:00 or an afternoon departure at 13:30 from the main entrance of your hotel in Side, Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Titreyengöl, Sorgun or Manavgat. The journey to Sealanya Dolphinpark takes approximately 25 minutes by air-conditioned minibus, so there is no need to arrange your own transport. On arrival, our team assists you with entry and takes you to the outdoor show arena, where the covered seating area provides shade during the performance.

The live dolphin show lasts around 50 minutes and features bottlenose dolphins, fur seals and sea lions. During the performance, you can watch the animals respond to trainer cues, perform jumps and water tricks, play with balls and hoops, and move through the pool at speed. The show is designed as an easy family activity rather than a full-day attraction, which makes it particularly convenient if you want to keep the rest of your day free for the beach, shopping or other things to do around Side.

### Swimming with Dolphins

Swimming with dolphins is an optional experience and is not included in the standard dolphin show ticket. Guests who choose the upgrade take part in a separate interaction session with professional trainers after the main show. The session allows participants to get into the water and interact more closely with a dolphin under trainer supervision and with the required safety equipment.

If you are travelling with children or family members who do not want to swim, they can remain outside the interaction pool and watch from the designated viewing area. This makes the experience flexible for families where only some members want to take part in the dolphin swimming session.

The excursion normally takes around half a day, including the transfer and show, although the total duration can vary depending on the selected programme and whether you add the swimming experience. After your visit, our driver takes you back to your hotel in Side, Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Titreyengöl, Sorgun or Manavgat.

For travellers comparing dolphin experiences around Antalya, this Side Dolphin Show is particularly convenient because you do not need to spend an entire day travelling. You can see a live dolphin and marine animal performance, add a swimming experience if you wish, and still have plenty of time left to enjoy the rest of your holiday in Side.
