The experience
The Belek dolphin show is the easiest animal outing from the resort. It takes place at Dolphinland Antalya, the dolphinarium inside Aqualand water park on the western side of the city, and it is one of the oldest venues of its kind in Turkey. The performers are dolphins joined by sea lions and seals, and the whole programme lasts around 50 minutes, which is about the right length for younger children who struggle with longer excursions. It suits families with kids of any age, grandparents travelling with grandchildren, and anyone who wants a gentle half-day away from the hotel without an early start or a late return.
Pickup runs at around 09:00 from hotels in Belek, Kadriye and Bogazkent, with the precise time sent to you the evening before. The coach follows the D400 coastal road into Antalya, a drive of roughly 40 to 50 minutes depending on your hotel. At Aqualand you walk through to the dolphinarium, find your seats and settle in for the show, which mixes dolphin jumps and tricks with routines from the sea lions and seals. When the performance ends there is free time at the poolside for photos and videos with the animals. The coach then heads back east and you are dropped at your hotel at about 13:30.

Good to know
The show runs every day, so it slots easily around beach days and boat trips. You will spend time outdoors between the coach and the arena, and the Antalya sun is strong by late morning, which is why hats, sunscreen and a bottle of water are worth packing. Children aged 3 to 11 pay the same £27 as adults, while infants up to two years old travel free. Front rows can get splashed, so families with toddlers may prefer to sit a few rows back. Wear something light and comfortable, and keep a camera or phone ready for the photo session afterwards.
What to bring
- Bottle of water
- Sun hat

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Belek dolphin show cost in 2026?
The 2026 price is £27 per person for adults and for children aged 3 to 11. Infants aged 0 to 2 are free. That figure covers the return coach transfer from your hotel, insurance, a guide and the standard entrance ticket to the show. VIP tickets and other extra packages sold at the dolphinarium are not included and can be paid for separately on the day.
How long is the dolphin show trip from Belek?
Plan on roughly four and a half hours from door to door. Pickup is at around 09:00, the drive to Aqualand on the west side of Antalya takes 40 to 50 minutes, the performance itself lasts about 50 minutes, and you then have a little free time for photos before the coach returns you to your hotel at approximately 13:30, in time for a late lunch.
Is the dolphin show suitable for young children and do they pay?
Yes, this is one of the most child-friendly outings from Belek because the whole trip is short and the show itself runs under an hour. Children aged 3 to 11 pay the same £27 as adults, since they take a full seat on the coach and in the arena. Babies and toddlers aged 0 to 2 go free. If you travel with a pushchair, tell us when booking so we can confirm space on the coach.
Where and when will I be picked up for the dolphin show?
We collect guests directly from hotels in Belek, Kadriye and Bogazkent. The excursion window starts at 09:00, and because the coach works its way through several resorts your individual pickup time may be a little earlier or later than that. We send the exact time and the place to wait, usually the main hotel entrance, by WhatsApp the day before. Please be outside five minutes early so the coach keeps to schedule for everyone.
Can I cancel or change my dolphin show booking?
Yes. Because you pay in cash on the day rather than online, there is no deposit at stake. If your plans change, message us on WhatsApp as early as you can, ideally the day before, and we will cancel the booking or move you to another date. The show runs every day, so rebooking is simple. Once the coach has already set off on the morning itself, changes may no longer be possible.
What should I bring to the Belek dolphin show?
Keep it light. A bottle of water and a sun hat are the two essentials, and sunscreen is sensible for the walk between the coach and the arena. Bring a phone or camera with free storage for the photo session after the performance, and a little cash in lira or euros if you want a VIP package or souvenirs. Swimwear is not needed, as this trip covers the show only and not the water park.
