We had an absolute blast swimming with the dolphins at Aksu Dolphinarium! The kids were over the moon getting to touch and play with these amazing creatures. It's super family-friendly and the trainers make sure everyone has a safe and fun time. Definitely a perfect way to spend the day if you're in Kemer!
