Giving joy and healthy fun to young and old and located on the Las Morlas highway, in the Punta de Hicacos Natural Park, is the Dolphinarium on the blue beach of Varadero, the most famous in Cuba.

A suggestion of enjoyment that the visiting vacationer should not ignore, because later he could regret it. Punta Hicacos Park is close to a splendid lagoon of some 60,000 cubic meters of water mirror and has a large pool built for relaxation where about a dozen jumping and playful dolphins, literally adorable, perform their attractions, very well taught and conducted, in four shows performed daily with a large influx of public.

The daytime schedule is chosen for this great fun. There, in addition to seeing the incredible acrobatics and gestures of these highly intelligent animals, the client will be able to opt for the possibility of taking a 15-minute dive next to those emulators of the legendary Flipper. These are moments in general that everyone appreciates regardless of age.

Along with the popular shows with the dolphins and the baths, there is a children's recreation park with other offers that delight children. The Varadero Dolphinarium, a spa that began to be born as a city in 1887, instead had to wait almost 100 years to be founded in 1984, as part of the extensive program that enhances the natural virtues of this wonderful beach, while recognizing its ecological and natural values in general.

That is why the Varadero Dolphinarium, among the oldest in the country, shares honors with another created in that city, as well as the one in Bahía de Naranjo in Holguín and the one in Baconao in Santiago de Cuba. The environment that surrounds it has the greenery ensured, by the care of the authorities and businessmen, so that this region remains healthy, offering quality tourism, very varied and with the highest levels. Splendid flora and fauna can be admired in its surroundings. Enchanting moments, full of joy and life await you there.
