Located just three miles northeast of Paradise Island, Blue Lagoon Island is home to 18 Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and six California sea lions. Several encounter programs are available that let guests get up close and personal with these amazing and highly intelligent mammals. Visitors can try the exhilarating "footpush" at the Dolphin Swim, interact with a dolphin in the water at the Dolphin Encounter, or take advantage of the rare chance to kiss, hug, feed and play with a loveable sea lion as part of the Sea Lion Encounter. For those who would like to simply cheer from the sidelines, the Observer Program allows visitors to watch others interact with these friendly creatures.
While at Blue Lagoon Island, visitors might recognize some of the island's celebrity residents from movies such as Flipper or Andre. Also known as Salt Cay, the island is a secluded three-mile-long oasis featuring powdery white sands, a meandering lagoon, native palms, tropical birds and ripe, natural vegetation. Primarily untouched, this isolated hideaway provides a quiet sanctuary in which to while away an afternoon.
