What is Sealanya Dolphin Park?

Sealanya is a giant complex that opened in 2008 and is one of the largest dolphin parks in Europe. Located in the Türkler district of Alanya, approximately seventeen kilometers from the city center, this facility spans an area exceeding five thousand hectares.

Sealanya consists of two main facilities: Dolphin Park and Sea Park. While dolphin and sea lion shows are held at Dolphin Park, Sea Park offers swimming opportunities in freshwater and saltwater pools. Both facilities are designed to provide visitors with unique experiences.

The Dolphin Show Experience

The Alanya Dolphin Show is held twice daily in two sessions: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each show lasts approximately one hour and includes various performances that captivate audiences.

Sea Lions Show

The show begins with cheerful sea lions. Maned sea lions (Otaria Flavescens) warm up the stage with their approximately fifteen-minute performance. These adorable creatures win the hearts of audiences with their dances, songs, and comical movements, ensuring the show has an entertaining start.

Sea lions showcase their intelligence with their responses to trainers' commands. Talents such as clapping, saluting, and moving to music make spectators smile.

Dolphin Performance

After the sea lions, the stage belongs to the stars of the show: bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops Truncatus). These magnificent mammals are known to have the intelligence level of a three-year-old child, and the abilities they display prove this intelligence.

The dolphins' performance consists of various sections:

Water Dances: Dolphins perform graceful dances in the water accompanied by music. Their synchronized movements in pairs and multiples resemble a ballet performance on water. Their jumps, spins, and underwater coordination captivate audiences.

Pool Games: Activities such as ball games, ring toss, and water polo make up the entertaining sections of the show. Dolphins' headshots to return balls or catching rings with their noses always draw applause.

Hula Hoop Show: The acrobatic movements dolphins perform with hula hoops showcase their technical skills. Passing through rings and spinning them amazes viewers.

Dialogue with Trainers: The warm relationship between dolphins and their trainers creates the most emotional moments of the show. Interactions such as riding on trainers' backs, giving kisses, and waving demonstrate how social and loving these creatures are.

Photo Moment

After the show, the opportunity to take photos with dolphins and sea lions is offered. These special moments can be recorded by professional photographers for an additional fee.

Swimming with Dolphins

For those who want to take the Alanya Dolphin Show to the next level, a swimming with dolphins program is offered. This optional activity can be experienced for an additional fee and lasts approximately thirty minutes.

In the swimming with dolphins session, you enter the pool in small groups of four or five people. Accompanied by trainers, you have the opportunity to make close contact with dolphins, pet them, and swim together. This is a unique experience that will be remembered for a lifetime.
