These dolphins were photographed at the touristy Dolphin Academy. Personally, I am not 100% behind entertaining animals, although the conditions at this place seem animal-friendly. If they really wanted to, they could escape and they regularly take a boat out into the open sea.
When I still lived on the island, I did a swim, encounter and snorkel with dolphins and loved it! As a little girl, dolphins were already my favourite animals, so I had to take this opportunity 10 years ago!
Dolphins can also be spotted in the wild near the island of Curaçao, which forms the ABC islands together with Aruba and Bonaire. The dolphins found here are the Bottlenose dolphin or the Long-nosed dolphin.
