Some days of a holiday should be simple: no early mountain start, no long bus ride, just a few happy hours that the whole family enjoys. For many visitors to Alanya, the dolphin show is exactly that kind of day. It is short, easy to plan and especially popular with children, and in November, when beach days become fewer, it is a welcome change of programme. You can see the details and book on our Dolphin Show & Swimming Tour page.
What to expect
The show takes place at a dolphin park in the Alanya area. Trainers present the dolphins' jumps, tricks and teamwork in front of the audience, and the animals' energy usually earns loud applause from young and old alike. Some programmes also feature other marine animals. Guests who want to get closer can book the optional swim with dolphins as an extra. Conditions such as the minimum age and the current price are shown on the tour page, so please check them before you go.
Tips for families
- Arrive in good time: getting there a little early means you can choose your seats calmly.
- Seats near the front: they offer the best view, but you may get splashed – part of the fun for most children.
- Bring a light layer: November mornings and evenings in Alanya can be cool, even on sunny days.
- Plan the rest of the day: since the show is short, it combines well with a walk along the harbour, a visit to the castle or a lazy afternoon at the hotel.
Tour transfer or your own car?
If you book the tour, the pick-up arrangement is explained on the booking page, which is the easiest option if you are staying in a hotel. If you prefer flexibility, a rental car from Wind Rent Alanya lets you set your own timing, stop for lunch wherever you like and explore more of the coast on the same day. Travelling with small children? Ask about child seats when you book your car.
And if you have not arrived yet, our Antalya Airport transfer takes you straight to your hotel after the flight, so the holiday can start without stress.
Good to know
Show days and times can change outside the summer season, so always check the current schedule and price on the reservation page before planning your day. With a little preparation, the dolphin show is a relaxed and memorable outing that children often talk about long after the holiday is over.
