dolphin encounters
Marine mammal interactions
Dolphin encounters are organized experiences where people interact with dolphins, typically at marine parks, aquariums, or coastal tour operations.
Activities range from watching dolphins perform to swimming alongside them in controlled environments or open water.
The phrase appears frequently in tourism marketing: We booked a dolphin encounter for the kids.
Critics question the ethics of keeping dolphins captive for such programs.
