Zoomarine is the Algarve’s top attraction. A fabulous family marine theme park with dolphins and seals, pirate shows, water slides, wave pool, even a beach! One of the very best things to do in Algarve and the only place in Europe where you can interact with the dolphins in the pool.
Zoomarine is all about the natural world and the richness of marine life and oceans. There is a strong conservation and educational message delivered along with plenty of fun. Away from the spotlight, Zoomarine is very involved in the rescue and rehab of marine animals, as well as beach clean-ups and the annual Green Mountain event which plants thousands of trees each year in the Algarve countryside.
The big attractions at Zoomarine are the spectacular presentations.
- The Dolphins are perennial favourites, with a breath-taking demonstration of the dolphins' agility, intelligence and the special bond they have with their trainers.
- The Sea Adventure presentation features seals and sea lions, sailors and lost treasure. This show gets lots of laughs from the audience and is definitely one that the kids will enjoy.
- The Enchanted Forest presentation with tropical birds is entertaining while at the same time promoting environmental awareness - always a priority at Zoomarine.
- The birds of prey presentation is dramatic and awe-inspiring, and allows you to get closer to these majestic creatures than you ever thought possible
- At Pirate Bay you can watch the acrobatic antics of the pirates fighting over treasure in a fun and lively show.
If all that isn´t enough, there are pools and water slides, a wave pool and white sand beach set in tropical gardens, as well as a childrens water play area.
There are carrousels and a ferris wheel and plenty to keep everyone entertained.
You can visit the Aquarium at Zoomarine and see several marine species and even get to feed the rays by hand.
And you can stroll thorugh the beautiful Butterfly Garden, a colourful, fragrant garden.

At Zoomarine, the presentations and exhibitions are educational and promote awareness of environmental and conservation issues. There is also a Rehabilitation Center, the Zoomarine Porto d'Abrigo, that carries out amazing work in rescuing and rehabilitating marine animals. Marine species that have washed up along the Portugal coastline in distress are treated here before, hopefully, being released back into their natural environment. Find out more about this other conservation and education work done by Zoomarine at Together We Protect.
For a once in a lifetime experience, there is also the opportunity to interact with the dolphins in the specially created pool and dolphin centre. This is located in a tranquil environment, hidden away from the main park and the programme includes an educational talk and the chance to take part in some of the basic training techniques in the water with the dolphins. This is a truly magical experience - the contact with the dolphins and the memories you take away are priceless.
