ABOUT

About this spot

Surrounded by the calm waters of Toba Bay, Dolphin Island is a unique destination where the entire island is a leisure facility. Because you travel to the island by sightseeing boat, the cruise experience begins even before you land. On the island, you can watch dynamic dolphin shows and comical sea lion performances up close, and enjoy a rich selection of "trainer experiences" in which you can feed the dolphins and check their skin condition. Reached by lift or walking path, the summit observation deck offers a sweeping panorama of Toba Bay and its beautiful ria coastline, making it a perfect photo spot. Because you can interact with animals amid abundant nature, it is ideal for family trips with small children as well as for friends or couples on a date. Why not spend a moment on this island getaway, full of relaxation and adventure, feeling the sea breeze? *Please check the official website for the latest information.
