Dolphin Connection

Dolphin Connection is a marine education facility located at Hawks Cay Resort on Duck Key in the Florida Keys, Monroe County. Set against the backdrop of a natural saltwater lagoon, the attraction offers immersive dolphin interaction programs for guests of all ages. Visitors participate in guided in-water encounters where they can swim, play, and interact with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, learning about dolphin behavior and biology from trained staff. A dockside experience is also available for those who prefer to connect with the dolphins without entering the water. The program features a lagoon home to seven dolphins, including fan favorites known for their intelligence and friendly personalities. Professional photographers capture each encounter, with photos included. Dolphin Connection blends conservation education with memorable marine mammal experiences in a uniquely beautiful Keys setting.
